A rapid and reliable assay is needed to evaluate hop
resistance to Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium
dahliae. Assays used in the past are laborious, require
long incubation periods, and usually produce mild symptoms
which are difficult to evaluate and are often not
consistent. A study comparing several methods for...
Hop powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera macularis Braun & Takamatsu (formerly Sphaerotheca macularis (Wallr. :Fr.) Lind, syn. S. humuli (DC.)Burrill) was not observed in Pacific Northwest hop yards until 1997, when it was discovered in Washington. Within one year, it had spread to Oregon and Idaho. This emerging disease caused...
Hop downy mildew is a devastating disease affecting hop requiring expensive
fungicide applications throughout the growing season. Plant resistance is highly
desirable and theorized as being decidedly quantitative with dominance and epistasis
involved in resistance. An association mapping approach using a mixed-model was
used to identify AFLP markers associated with...
Verticillium wilt of hops in Oregon, caused by Verticillium
dahliae Kleb., was first reported in 1956. Later, V. albo-atrum
Reinke & Berth. was also isolated from infected hop plants, and thus
both species of the fungus were shown to be the causal agents of the
disease in Oregon.
The purpose...
Hop varieties were compared under field and greenhouse conditions to determine their relative susceptibility to the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticac Koch. A fertility schedule was prepared for mites on resistant and susceptible varieties, and tests were conducted to compare sex ratio, oviposition rate, survival rate, and developmental rate of...
The hop cyst nematode, Heterodera humuli Filipjev, 1934 was
first reported from Europe in 1894, however, very little is known
with respect to the biology and economic importance of this pest.
Abundant material from Oregon hop yards provided an excellent
opportunity to add additional details concerning the bionomics of this...
