A new hop plant particularly distinguished by having a cylindrical plant shape, large bracts, and a fruity, tropical fruit flavor, is disclosed.

Hop plant named 'Furano K906901060 Go'

A new hop plant particularly distinguished by having a cylindrical plant shape, alpha acid content of 13.4% in dry matter, a ratio content of beta to alpha of 0.6, a content of cohumulone to alpha acids of 32%, and a flowery and fruity flavor, is disclosed.

Hop plant named 'Furano 0902D go'

A new hop plant particularly distinguished by having a conical plant shape, alpha acid content of 4.2% in dry matter, a ratio content of beta to alpha of 1.1, a content of cohumulone to alpha acids of 48%, and a fruity, grape and citrus flavor, is disclosed.

Hop plant named 'Furano 0802D go'

A new hop plant particularly distinguished by having a cylindrical plant shape, alpha acid content of 7.4% in dry matter, a ratio content of beta to alpha of 0.5, a content of cohumulone to alpha acids of 33%, and a flowery, rose flavor, is disclosed.

Hop plant named 'Furano 0901B go'

DNA, a gene derived from the genome of the hop latent virus, encoding the coat protein of the virus. The DNA is useful of a development of an efficient gene diagnostic method for detecting the hop latent virus-infected plant.

Hop latent virus coat protein

The hop mosaic virus (HMV) gene has been isolated and purified, and the base sequence thereof elucidated. HMV can be detected by simple and accurate methods using nucleic sequences from the isolated HMV gene. These methods are especially useful for detecting HMV infection in plants. Using the methods provided by the present invention, it is possible to detect HMV more simply and accurately as compared to the conventional immunological methods, such as ELISA.

Hop mosaic virus gene and method for detecting hop mosaic virus

DNA, a gene derived from the genome of the hop latent virus, encoding the coat protein of the virus and having the base sequence described in the sequence identification number 1 in the sequence listing. The DNA is useful of a development of an efficient gene diagnostic method for detecting the hop latent virus-infected plant.

Gene of the hop latent virus and methods for detecting the same

A new and distinct variety of Hops, named Hokuto-Ace, is described, which matures rapidly, has excellent bitterness and aroma, and exhibits increased disease resistance, particularly toward downy mildew and gray mold.
