My family farms hops on the Yakima Indian Reservation in Washington State. I look forward to participating in the discussions. Hello, my name is Krishna Mohan. I am interested in the hop powdery mildew situation in the Pacific Northwest. This electronic event is a great vehicle to share ideas, perspectives and data.
Powdery mildew is a concern to the brewers as well as the hop industry.
Thank you for participating in this learning journey. Hello, my name is Chunlin Wang, Ph. D student in Plant science Department, Rutgers University. For the past few years I have been studying fatty acids-related resistance of fungal pathogens of tomato and other crops, including monocots like turfgrass. I found the transgenic tomato with higher palmitoleic acid has very good resistance to tomato powdery.
