The hop cyst nematode, , is the most common plant-parasitic nematode associated with hop worldwide. This study reports the draft genome of generated on the PacBio Sequel IIe System with the ultra-low DNA input HiFi sequencing method, and the corresponding genome annotation. This genome resource will help further studies on and other cyst nematodes.

Article Synopsis
  • Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) are a less-known group of pathogens affecting cool-season grass seed crops in Oregon, and this survey identifies their presence in various grass species.
  • The study sampled 37 fields during the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons, revealing significant differences in PPN community composition based on the type of grass host and the time of sampling.
  • DNA sequencing techniques uncovered several nematode species, some of which are noted for the first time in association with these grasses, highlighting the need for more research on their impact on grass yield and health.

(commonly known as hop) is an herbaceous plant that is used in brewing throughout the world. Hop cones are an essential ingredient in the production of beer, which makes hops of critical importance to global craft beverage industries. The hop cyst nematode, , is a plant-parasitic nematode with the potential to substantially limit yields of hop.
