Objective In marker-assisted breeding procedures the German hop breeding will have at their disposal an innovative tool designed as an addition to the conventional selection process. By combining conventional selection with the new genome-based technique, it becomes possible for new and robust, high yielding cultivars to be made available sooner and more efficiently to the hops and brewing industries. See 4.8 for more details and the latest information on implementation and findings.
