Evolutionary History of domesticated hops study now out in Molecular Ecology!

Our new USDA and California ARI funded study describing the evolutionary history, microbial and fungal community composition, and viral resistance in domesticated hops (Humulus lupulus L.) is now out in Molecular Ecology! Congratulations to all the authors - this has been a years-long effort led by PhD student Alexandra McElwee-Adame, and all the greenhouse experiments and measurements were performed by the Fall 2023 class of BIOL 596 Research Methods in Agricultural Sciences at San Diego State University and California State University San Marcos.
