Characterization, breeding and propagation of regional hop races

Finally, Flemish hop growers are also requesting to start up local propagation of hop plants in Flanders so as not to be dependent on foreign propagators.Relevance/ValorizationIn HopBel2.0 we strive to develop locally adapted hop varieties that are relevant for the farmer (agronomically) and for the brewer.

Characterization, breeding and propagation of regional hop races

INnovations in plant VarIety Testing in Europe to foster the introduction of new varieties better adapted to varying biotic and abiotic conditions and to more sustainable crop management practices

The aim is also to better communicate the results of the variety testing to stakeholders.Research approachAs a test object, we choose various crops that are important within the EU for breeding, propagation, food and feed production.

Phytosanitary risks of newly introduced crops

In a next phase, the status of the viruses and nematodes that were associated with propagation materials, in the field and in the marketed new (tuber) crops was evaluated.

Evaluation and optimization of a high-throughput sequencing based strategy to detect viruses and bacteria in view of certification and in vitro therapy to create virus free mother plants

Absolute virus-free status is increasingly becoming a must for propagation material and their end products. For example, the testing requirements in the international plant trade are changing (tightening) under the new Plant Health Law implemented in 2019 and the split into Q-organisms and RNQP-organisms.
