'Alba' (Reg. No. [CV-355, PI 672535]) is a winter, six-row barley released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 2012. The name “Alba” was chosen due to the bright and attractive appearance of the crop at maturity. In high rainfall environments, it has a notable yield advantage over check varieties...
LouAu (Louise/IWA8608077) (MP-7, NSL 511036) is a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) recombinant inbred line population developed by the USDA-ARS, with Oregon State and Washington State Universities, from a cross between the soft white spring cultivar Louise and the white facultative Iranian landrace IWA8608077. The population was developed by single seed...
’Teamaker’ hop (Humulus lupulus L.) (Reg. No. CV-28,
PI 558864) was developed by the USDA-ARS as a unique,
nonbittering, high beta-acids hop and was released on 26 June
2006. The defining characteristics of Teamaker are its near-zero
percent alpha acids levels—a distinctive condition in the Humulus
species (Haunold et al.,...
Facultative/winter six-row malting barley is a distinct elite germplasm pool and a valuable resource that may prove useful in meeting the challenges of climate change. To preserve its diversity and make it accessible to the research and agricultural communities, the Oregon State University and University of Minnesota barley breeding programs...
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) comes in a huge assortment of fresh and dried varieties, including snap beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. Together, these and other market classes provide a third of the daily dietary protein in some cultures, particularly in Africa, Asia, and developing nations in the Americas....
Hop downy mildew (DM) is an obligate parasite causing severe losses in hop if not controlled. Resistance to this pathogen is a primary goal for hop breeding programs. The objective of this study was to identify QTLs linked to DM resistance. Next-generation-sequencing was performed on a mapping population segregating for...
Fall-sown barley will be increasingly important in the era of climate change due to higher yield potential and efficient use of water resources. Resistance/tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses will be critical. Low temperature is an abiotic stress of great importance. Resistance to barley stripe rust (incited by Puccinia striifomis...
Naked (hull-less) barley has historically been grown for food, but interest in, and breeding efforts for, its use in malting and brewing have increased due to the potential benefits: reduced off-flavors, reduced spent grain, and higher malt extract. These benefits are offset by limiting factors such as high b-glucan and...
Downy mildew (caused by Pseudoperonospora humuli) causes significant losses in hop (Humulus lupulus L.) cone yield and quality, and potential crown death. Breeding for resistance has proved difficult presumably because of the highly quantitative nature of genetic control over expression. The objective of this study was to utilize multiple environments...
Effects of amount of applied water and frequency of irrigation
on head rot and yield of three broccoli cultivars were evaluated in
1987 and 1988. Two irrigation frequencies were established with a
line-source sprinkler system for 5.5 weeks during heading. The low-frequency
experiment was watered once per week and the...
