Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with R1-mediated resistance to powdery mildew and sex determination in hop (Humulus lupulus L.).

Two QTL were identified using linkage mapping approaches, one on hop linkage group 3 (qHl_Chr3.PMR1) associated with powdery mildew resistance and a second on linkage group 10 (cqHl_ChrX.SDR1) associated with sex determination.

An improved assembly of the "Cascade" hop () genome uncovers signatures of molecular evolution and refines time of divergence estimates for the Cannabaceae family.

We present a chromosome-level assembly of the Cascade hop ( L. var. ) genome.

Somewhere out there in a place no one knows: Yoko Ogawa's and the literature of forgetting.

Yoko Ogawa's was published in Japanese in 1994. Since the release of its first English translation in 2019, the text has attracted a handful of responses from English literary scholars. Most of these focus on the novel's allegorical potential in relation to issues of totalitarianism and collectively enforced memory loss-as evocative, for example, of the Orwellian dystopia, or the state silencing of radiation victims in Japan.

Two fingerprinting sets for Humulus lupulus based on KASP and microsatellite markers.

Verification of clonal identity of hop (Humulus lupulus L.) cultivars within breeding programs and germplasm collections is vital to conserving genetic resources. Accurate and economic DNA-based tools are needed in dioecious hop to confirm identity and parentage, neither of which can be reliably determined from morphological observations.

Gene expression for secondary metabolite biosynthesis in hop (Humulus lupulus L.) leaf lupulin glands exposed to heat and low-water stress.

Hops are valued for their secondary metabolites, including bitter acids, flavonoids, oils, and polyphenols, that impart flavor in beer. Previous studies have shown that hop yield and bitter acid content decline with increased temperatures and low-water stress. We looked at physiological traits and differential gene expression in leaf, stem, and root tissue from hop (Humulus lupulus) cv.

A draft phased assembly of the diploid Cascade hop (Humulus lupulus) genome.

Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var Lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with a history of cultivation spanning more than one thousand years. Hop cones are valued for their use in brewing and contain compounds of therapeutic interest including xanthohumol.

Transcriptome analysis of the model grass Lolium temulentum exposed to green leaf volatiles.

Background: Forage and turf grasses are routinely cut and grazed upon throughout their lifecycle. When grasses are cut or damaged, they rapidly release a volatile chemical cocktail called green leaf volatiles (GLV). Previously we have shown that mechanical wounding or exposure to GLV released from cut grass, activated a Lt 46 kDa mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) within 3 min and a 44 kDa MAPK within 15-20 min in the model grass species Lolium temulentum (Lt).

HopBase: a unified resource for Humulus genomics.

Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var lupulus) is a dioecious plant of worldwide significance, used primarily for bittering and flavoring in brewing beer. Studies on the medicinal properties of several unique compounds produced by hop have led to additional interest from pharmacy and healthcare industries as well as livestock production as a natural antibiotic.

Simple SNP-based minimal marker genotyping for Humulus lupulus L. identification and variety validation.

Background: Hop is an economically important crop for the Pacific Northwest USA as well as other regions of the world. It is a perennial crop with rhizomatous or clonal propagation system for varietal distribution. A big concern for growers as well as brewers is variety purity and questions are regularly posed to public agencies concerning the availability of genotype testing.

Connecting classroom to clinical practice: a comparison of programs.

Purpose: To compare student perceptions of their clinical field experiences in 3 distinct settings: the external model, in which course work and clinical experience are taught in separate institutions; the internal model, in which course work and clinical experience are taught within the same institution; and the bridging model, in which course work and clinical experience are taught in associated institutions.

Method: Qualitative data were collected for 9 participants at 3 clinical sites through individual interviews, observations and focus group interviews.

Results: Findings indicated that the participants appreciated the value of integrating their course work with their clinical experience, supervision that allowed freedom while providing support, frequent and honest feedback, recognition for their efforts (especially from patients) and the importance of interpersonal relationships for establishing trust.

Implementing case study methodology in critical care nursing: a discourse analysis.

The authors provide a description of the classroom interactions as one nursing education professor transformed his teaching from a lecture format to a case study approach. This description serves as a road map for nursing educators who are interested in making the transition to a case study approach by showing how, when, and to what degree they can maximize both student participation and content acquisition.
