Abstract
The National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR-Corvallis) is responsible for conservation of the hop (Humulus lupulus L.) genetic resources for the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The collection includes 675 accessions representing 7 Humulus taxa (species and subspecies) from 18 countries.
This germplasm includes: wild collected seeds, virus and viroid tested plants growing in greenhouses or screenhouses, in vitro cultures, and cryogenically preserved pollen and meristems.
The tissue culture collection is composed of primarily the core collection of pathogen-tested cultivars and wild collected species.
The cryopreserved clonal collection was established from tissue-cultured plants and includes 90 accessions stored using the controlled rate cooling or encapsulation-dehydration techniques.
These cryopreserved samples are held at the USDA ARS National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation (NCGRP) in Ft.
Collins, Colorado.
The plants from which NCGR-Corvallis distributes cuttings are tested for known viruses and viroids.
Hop germplasm from NCGR-Corvallis is distributed to researchers internationally in accordance with country, regional and state phytosanitary regulations.
