METHOD FOR SELECTING HOP LINE AND BREEDING MARKER AND PRIMER SET USED FOR SELECTING HOP LINE

摘要

It is an object of the invention to screen for hop varieties with low cohumulone ratio and low colupulone ratio, as well as hop varieties with high contents of farnesene and/or linalool within a short time period utilizing a molecular screening method that employs a breeding marker. The invention provides a breeding marker using a polymorphism at the position of the 623rd nucleotide or a polymorphism at the position of the 1820th nucleotide of a polynucleotide consisting of the nucleotide sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5.
