Todd Co. visited with Horner about mint research. Correspondence Hop and Mint Investigations originated 500 letters and memos during the reporting period. Requests for Seed or Plants Requests for seed or plants continue to be received at a rapid rate. Most of these requests can be traced to the published relationship between hops and marijuana referred to in the 1970 Annual Report, page 5. During the 1971-72 reporting period, approximately 65 requests were received for seed or planting stock. Most of these requests specifically stated that the Polyploid variety Bullion or Brewers Gold was desired. Most of these requests are being answered approximately as follows: "Your letter requesting hop seed is acknowledged. Commercial hops are grown seedless, and we know of no commercial source of hop seeds or planting stock. Also, some persons are attempting to graft hop shoots onto marijuana rootstock to conceal the identity of the marijuana plant. Therefore, it is our policy to provide such material only to persons engaged in the commercial production of hops, or in plant science or agricultural research. We would also want to know the purpose(s) for which the hop plants are intended. I am sorry that we cannot fulfill your request, but I believe you will understand." A file of all requests for hop seed or planting stock is being kept. Production and Marketing According to USDA Statistical Reporting Service, U. S. production of hops in 1971 was 49.7 million pounds, up 8% above 1970. Acreage harvested was 28,900, up approximately 1,000 acres from 1970. Acreage and yield were up in all four hop producing states. Washington hop growers, who produce about 66% of the U. S. crop, produced 32.7 million pounds in 1971. The 1971 Oregon crop was 8,6 7 0,000 pounds, an increase of 21% over 1970. The yield per acre was slightly over 1,700 pounds, a new record, exceeding last year's yield of 1,670 pounds which was also a record. The value of the entire 1971 U. S. hop crop was $32,416,000, up about 25% from 1970. The actual quantity of hops available for market is regulared under Federal Market Order 991. The U. S. Hop Administrative Committee set the saleable quota at 82% of base allotment for 1971. Statistical data on acreage, yield, production and price are given in Table 1. Table 2 shows U. S. Hop Administrative Committee figures for acreage, yeild, and production, and is included because it shows the breakdown of var ieties by states. Figures in Table 2 do not exactly match those in Table 1 because of rounding off of figures used in Table 1. Table 2 represents actual counted and weighed amounts, as obtained by the U. S. Hop Administrative Committee. Table 3 shows production figures for liurope as gathered by the U. S. Hop Administrative Committee. Mint oil production for the U. S. for 1971 was 5,482,000 pounds, down 22% from 1970, according to the USDA Statistical Reporting Service. Peppermint oil production was down 26%, while spearmint was down 15% from last year. The peppermint price per pound was about $3.97, up slightly from 1970, but spear mint oil price at $4 per pound was about 60<f per pound below 1970. The farm gate value for mint oil production in 1971 was $21,449,000. This was a decrease of about $5,000,000 from 1970 value (Table 4). Table 1.

Roberts) Exchange of Gennplasm Table 1 shows gennplasm distributed upon request to various parts of the world and Table 2 shows gennplasm received during this reporting period. Accession Numbers Assigned in 1971 Ten selections and foreign introductions received permanent accession numbers m 1971 (Table 3). The variety "Golden Star" (21039) is an introduc tion from Japan. It was originally selected as a bud sport from the variety Shinshuwase and reportedly is superior to Shinshuwase in several agronomic traits such as yield, disease resistance, and pickability, in addition to having satisfactory brewing characteristics. Its alpha and beta acid and alpha/beta ratio are nearly identical to Shinshuwase. In 1970 in a green house soil bed at Corvallis, Golden Star exhibited severe symptoms of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus. These symptoms were not evident the following year when Golden Star was grown in the field and the variety has now been included in our Named Variety Block. Two introductions came from England, namely 21043, Wye Challenger, and 21044, Wye Northdown. They were grown in the greenhouse and will be included in our Named Variety Collection in the future. Only four of the more than 10 introductions from Russia survived the greenhouse testing (21045, 21046, 21047, 21048). They will be transferred to the field and evaluated in a two-hill observation nursery in 1972. Three advanced triploid selections from our polyploid program that are under consideration for brewing trials received accession numbers (21040, 21041, 21042). They have had a good yield record for three years and carry resistance to downy mildew. There is still some question about their resis tance to Verticillium wilt, but tests in Verticillium-infested soil thus far have been inconclusive. Accession Numbers Eliminated in 1971 A number of selections with permanent accession numbers were eliminated from our program in 1971, primarily on the basis of severe virus infection and a poor yield record. These are listed in Table 4 for anyone who wants to bring his accession number book up-to-date. Crosses Made in 1971 Thirty-five crosses and open pollinated seed collections were made in 1971 (Table 5). Two were crosses between tetraploid Fuggle and selected males (Cr. 7101 and 7102) in order to obtain early maturing triploids. Cross 7101 was germinated in January 1972 and seedlings transferred to the 1971 field nursery in early spring 1972 without downy mildew testing. Seedlings from cross 7102 will be grown in the greenhouse in 1972 without downy mildew testing. Crosses 7103 to 7114 are intended for a study of inheritance of maturity. Table 1.

DM inheritance Remarks y R x R 33:5-8 Morden, Manitoba, Canada y Reason High a female parents of BG, Bu,collected in this area by Prof. Salmon 19 Stored pollen from the previous year was not viable and therefore the early female x late male combination was not obtained. These crosses will be repeated in 1972. Seeds obtained on Pride of Ringwood (Cr. 7107, 7108, 7109, 7110) again showed a tendency to sprout in the cones before harvest. This was observed once before (1968 Report, Table 1, page 14) but this year pollinating bags were removed about one week after pollination and sprouting of seeds is probably not due to unusual moisture conditions but may be a varietal charac teristic. Seeded cones of Pride of Ringwood were unusually large (nearly three times) as compared to seedless cones on the same plant, which is probably a varietal characteristic. Seedlings from these maturity crosses will be grown in the greenhouse in 1972 in preparation for a field trial to study inheritance of maturity in 1973. Four crosses (7115 to 7118) involved a continuation of the systematic inbreeding program begun in 1967 (1967 Report, Table 4, pages 44-47). Seedlings will be grown in the greenhouse and transplanted to the field in Sixteen crosses (7119-7134) will be used for studying inheritance of downy mildew resistance. Seedlings will be started in the greenhouse in 1972 and established in a replicated field trial at an isolated location near the Oregon coast. The environmental conditions at the coast plots should be ideal to establish high inoculum levels of downy mildew. This will allow us to evaluate the seedlings under more natural downy mildew infestation than can be achieved in the greenhouse. In addition, a limited number of seedlings from several of these crosses will be tested for downy mildew reaction in the greenhouse in 1972 by crown inoculation with a spore suspension. One lot of about 300 open pollinated seeds (Cr. 7135) was obtained from an experimental station at Morden, Manitoba, a location that is believed to have been near the origin of the "Wild Canadian" female collected by Prof Salmon many years ago which subsequently gave rise to the high alpha varieties Bullion and Brewers Gold. Seeds will be germinated in the spring of 1972, grown in the greenhouse for one year without mildew screening, and planted in a field nursery in 1973. Advanced Observation Nursery Two advanced seedless observation nurseries were grown in 1971 for agro nomic and quality evaluation of experimental lines, in conjunction with a number of commercial lines. The three experimental varieties 21001 56013 and 62013 were also included (Table 6). Variety 21001, an early maturing "noble" aroma European type, produced light yields below the Fuggle level, in spite of having six producing vines trained per hill (instead of four vines per hill trained for most other varieties). Variety 56013, which will be discussed elsewhere, was again harvested at five different dates beginning on August 30. It produced excellent yields at all harvest dates up to September 30 with alpha acid levels around 7%. Variety 62013 had slightly lower yields than expected, but good alpha- 20 acid content (13.2%). Shattering at harvest and apparent susceptibility to downy mildew under our growing conditions are probably the reasons for the slightly lower yields of this selection at Corvallis in 1971. Talisman and Pride of Ringwood, which mature very late, showed severe infections by downy mildew, and were not harvested. Among the English varieties Bullion gave substantially higher yields in this test than Brewers Gold, although Brewers Gold was slightly higher in alpha acid (10.8 vs. 10.1%). The second seedless observation nursery consisted of 10-hill plots of ZL i^°Hd *el*ctions Plus 27 diploids in the second year of growth (Table 7) Among the diploids in this group are three high alpha types which are of continuing interest. All are late maturing and have poor storage stability but a high alpha acid-yield potential (63032, 65009, 65011). Most of the remaining diploid selections in this group were unsatisfactory for various reasons. Selection 64007 showed excellent yield potential but had very low alpha acid content and therefore will be moved to the breeding block to be used for future crosses. Selection 21024 is a virus carrier with a strong genetic Hallertau background and moderate yield potential. Selection 65002 has low alpha acid content and high downy mildew susceptibility in the cones and will be discarded. Eighteen of the 27 Fuggle-related triploid types were harvested and six were selected for brewer inspection samples in 1971. Those are marked with an asterisk in Table 7. All showed excellent yield potential. The alpha acid contents varied from a low of 5.3% for selection 6769-11 to a high of 10 2% for selection 6761-61 (Table 7). We are somewhat concerned at this time' about an apparent susceptibility to Verticillium wilt in a number of triploid selections. Several of the most promising ones are now for the second year in a Verticillium wilt test in an isolation yard. In addition, we hope to establish several small observations plots (about 50 plants each) with some triploid lines in growers' yards in order to assess their agronomic performance under commercial management practices. 1969 Nursery The 1969 seedling nursery consisting of nearly 400 seedlings and appro priate controls was evaluated for the second year in 1970 and 51 females plus 17 male selections were retained for further investigations (Tables 8 and 9) Most of these selections resulted from crosses made on 61021, a line we commonly refer to as "Swiss", which we believe is closely related to or even identical to Tettnanger. Agronomic data, yield, quality characteristics, and disposi. tion of these selections are listed in Table 8. Two selections, 6806-67 and 6806-80, resulting from a cross on the high alpha acid line 62013 are remarkable because of their high alpha acid potential Many of the other selections had some quality characteristics similar to European type hops. Twenty-eight selections (marked 10-h OB under "disposi tion" in the table) will be planted in a 10-hill seedless nursery in the Smith Yard m 1972. The remainder will go into a two-hill holding nursery in the Mam Yard. Rhizomes of eight of these selections will be sent to Dr. Skotland Prosser, Washington, to be indexed for the presence of viruses. If necessary ' 21 Table 6.

In addition, 17 male selections will be placed in a two-hill holding nursery m the Main Yard for further evaluation. Only one male selection 6806-115M, was retained from cross 6806 which yielded the two females with high alpha acid potential. Chemical analysis of this selection indicates the lupulm has very good storage. Other male selections were made to represent crosses which had good female progenies, or because they exhibited desirable agronomic traits (Table 9). Selection 6811-08M, and 6812-02M were kept for future virus studies. 1970 Nurse ry_ Over 1,000 seedlings from the 1969 crosses, mainly from Yakima Cluster x downy mildew resistant (Zattler-OP) males, survived the downy mildew green house screening and were space-planted in the 1970 nursery in the spring of 1971 (Table 10). The high proportion of apparently downy mildew resistant Yakima Cluster seedlings (Crosses 6901, 6902, 6903) was surprising and con trary to previous experience with downy mildew reaction of Cluster seedling progenies. Another part of the 1970 nursery consists of seedlings with high alpha acid potential (Crosses 6904, 6905, 6907, 6908). Some of these pro genies were screened for downy mildew whereas others were not screend but evaluated agronomically under a two-foot spacing in the field in 1970 and transplanted to the nursery the same year the downy mildew screened material was planted. We will attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of greenhouse downy mildew screening vs. agronomic evaluation without prior disease screening in this material. The remainder of the 1970 nursery, approximately 600 plants, represent progeny from various diploid-tetraploid crosses which will be evaluated for yi!1l?ntentla1, disease reaction, and quality characteristics. Crosses 6909 and 6910 are tetraploid Fuggle x diploid male progeny which were not screened for downy mildew prior to field planting. We hope to select high alpha, good yielding triploids from this material. Cross 6913, 6914, 6915, 6916 and 6917 were made originally for genetic purposes, in order to assess the viability of pollen from the monoecious tetraploid genotype 6668-01. Arandom sample from each cross was checked cytologically and most of the seedlings were triploids (Appendix, Table 3). One group of seedlings in these crosses was transplanted to the field without prior downy mildew screening, while the remainder are greenhouse grown, downy mildew screened seedlings. Mildew notes will be obtained in the field to further evaluate the effectiveness of the agio 6920, A^nCr!nonngJo?nique downy mildew' 1!iie originally raining crosses 6918, 6919, 6921, 6922, 6924, f0r 6925, 6927, and 6928, also came from the genetic program to study the viability and seed set potential of pollen from selected tetraploid males. Root tip chromosome counts of a random seedling sample again showed that most were triploids (Appendix, Table 3) We hope to select triploids from this material which have either Cluster or Brewers Gold characteristics.

Rhizomes from apparently were free from downy mildew had been screened downy mildew reaction in 1969 and 1970 (1969 Report page 69). Surviving plants, therefore, were included in the 1970 nursery for further field testing. These included one plant from the UV-5 mm. treatment, two plants from the UV-10 min. treatment, four plants trom the 0.5-s EMS treatment, and eight plants from the 0.75% EMS treatment Hopefully, some of these selections will carry downy mildew resistance and also have agronomic and quality characteristics similar to the Early Cluster variety. J Commercial Variety Block Two genotypes, Bullion (64100) and experimental line 62013, were added to the commercial variety block in 1971. Dr. Berry, OSU entomologist, used plants in this block to evaluate several pesticides and plans to continue the trials in 1972. Named Variety Block In 1971 we planted in the southwest corner of the east main yard all named varieties we maintain for our breeding program and will refer to this nursery as the Named Variety Block in the future. Several of our advanced experimental lines are also included in this nursery (Table 11). Each genotype will be represented in four hills. Our objective is to collect and maintain as many of the more important world hop varieties as possible for use as breeding material or to serve as comparisons with our experimental lines. HOP GENETICS In addition to our effort of obtaining triploid types with either Cluster or high alpha acid characteristics discussed under hop breeding, a number of genetic studies were carried out in 1971. Tetraploid Nursery A two-hill tetraploid observation nursery was established in 1971 which includes male, female, and monoecious selections from the 1970 tetraploid nursery (1970 Report, pages 49-50). Most of these selections originated from the female triploid 56008, but some came from the tetraploid Fuggle 21003. After another years' testing, the most promising types will be transplanted to a holding nursery, probably after the 1972 season. The colchicine-induced tetraploid Fuggle 21003 has now been registered with the Crop Science Society of America as valuable germplasm. Six advanced triploid lines were offered to the U. S. Brewers Association. Hop Research Subcommittee, for hand evaluation. Detailed description of these lines plus comments by the evaluator are found on pages 43-45. New genetic crosses in 1971 (Crosses 7103 to 7114, Table 5) are designed for studying inheritance of maturity. There is a need for a good yielding 35 Table 11. Ace.

The inbreeding program through brother/sister mating (Crosses 7115, 7116, 7117, and 7118) is being continued and seedling selections will be trans planted to the field for future crossing. Female Triploid Selections Selections from the two female triploid holding nurseries (1970 Report, page 39) grown in our Main Yard in 1970-71 are listed in Table 12. They appear to have sufficient yield potential and Verticillium wilt resistance and will be planted in a seedless 10-hill observation nursery in 1972. One of these selections, 6769-11, has already been grown for two years in a seed less 10-hill test. It had an outstanding yield record in the Smith Yard which is now confirmed by yield data obtained in the Main Yard. Male Triploids Nine different triploid male selections were offered to interested hop growers in 1970 to be included in their commercial yards (1970 Report, page 39). We had hoped to study the effects of triploid (largely non-functional) pollen on cone size and yield under commercial conditions. In addition to the two growers listed in the 1970 Report, three more participated in 1971; namely, Stauffer Bros, of Hubbard, Oregon (selection 6769-06), Krebs Bros, of Jefferson, Oregon (selection 6769-33), and George Signorotti of Sloughhouse, Calif, (selection 6755-13). The experiment thus far has been somewhat disappointing since the growers in many instances lost track of the material during planting operations. Triploid males could be located at Coleman Farms, but diploids had also been included in the same yard which obviously confounds any observations on seed set or cone size to stimulation from triploid pollen. A new approach, perhaps controlled pollination with a mixture of triploid pollen, will be attempted in our seedless yard in 1972 to assess the potential of triploid pollen. Trisomies A group of approximately 60 primary trisomies that have been previously identified from root tip smears was maintained in a greenhouse soil bed in 1971. In addition to the four types tentatively associated with a given phenotype in 1970, one other type was identified. Additional primary trisomies, including the "forked" chromosome, were found among the seedling progeny of an open pollinated seed collection on the triploid 56008 (Cross 7012) grown in a greenhouse soil bed in 1971 (Appendix, Table 4). Since a considerable amount of time had to be devoted to the field evaluation of selected triploid lines in 1971, the aneuploid research could not be pursued as vigorously as previously planned. Most aneuploids have now also been established in a field nursery and will be maintained for future research (chromosome morphology,, meiosis, etc.). Table E.

Horner) Cascade - A New Hop Variety Cascade is the first new hop variety to originate from the hop research program conducted cooperatively by the U. S. Department of Agriculture with the State Experiment Stations and the U. S. Brewers Association. Cascade was named and officially released January 3, 1972. The Notice of Release follows: The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, Corvallis, Oregon The Washington Agricultural Experiment Station, Pullman, Washington and The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Plant Science Research Division Beltsville, Maryland NOTICE OF RELEASE OF NEW HOP VARIETY CASCADE The Oregon and Washington Agricultural Experiment Stations, and The Plant Science Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, announce the release of a new hop variety named Cascade. These experiment stations and the Plant Science Research Division wish to acknowledge the helpful coopera tion of the United States Brewers Association in the development of Cascade. Cascade is the first hop variety developed in the United States with aroma and brewing characteristics similar to varieties now being imported from Europe. It was selected at Corvallis, Oregon, in 1956 and originated from open-pollinated seed of a plant obtained previously by crossing Fuggle an English variety, with a male obtained by crossing Serebrianka, a Russian variety, with a Fuggle seedling. Cascade was extensively tested as USDA Accession Number 56013. Cascade has good resistance to systemic downy mildew crown infection incited °y Pseudoperonospora humuli and to downy mildew cone infection. It is tolerant to the prevalent strains of Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, but should not be planted on land known to be heavily infested with— the wilt fungus. Current planting stock of Cascade carries a strain of prunus necrotic ringspot virus but has not been seriously affected by the virus Cascade produces abundant, erect, slender, easily trained shoots. Vines twine closely to the string and form an even growth with hops in definite clusters well-distributed over the vines. Cones are compact, medium-sized, and pick easily. It yields, picks, and handles best when grown seedless. A few male flowers are sometimes present. Maturity is medium (September 310), but Cascade retains brewing quality and bright appearance for about three weeks after reaching adequate maturity for harvest. Lupulin is plentiful^, yellow to orange in color. Dried hops contain 5.5 - 7.5% alpha-acid 4-6-0 beta-acid, and 1-2 ml oil per 100 grams. Cohumulone content of the alpha-acid is similar to Fuggle and Hallertauer varieties. Oil composition 40 is similar to Fuggle, Styrian, and Tettnanger varieties in famesene content with no unusual components. Storage stability is similar to Bullion and Hallertauer varieties. Brewing tests indicate that Cascade is suitable for replacement of imported varieties used widely in lager beer production. Cascade has been evaluated for several years in Oregon and Washington in both experimental plots and in commercial-scale plantings from which hops for brewing trials were obtained. Cascade has consistently produced good yieldshowever, its greatest potential is to replace imported varieties.

Planting stock was distributed in 1971 to the Idaho, Oregon,' and Washington Hop Commissions and United Hop Growers of California for vegetative propagation. Approximately 300,000 propagules will be available for planting in 1972 from the above Commissions. The Plant Science Research Division, and the Oregon and Washington Agricultural Experiment Stations will not sell or distribute planting stock to growers. The date agreed upon for simultaneous announcement of release is January 3, 1972. Cascade hop appears to be adapted to Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. It may also be adapted to California. About 40 acres of established plantings should produce about 80,000 pounds of hops in 1972. Preliminary indications are that about 200 new acres will be planted in Washington, 80 acres in Oregon, and 30 acres in Idaho during 1972. 41 Selection 62013 Hop selection 62013 was planted for commercial scale brewing or extracting trials at two locations in Washington and one in Oregon during 1971. Small experimental plantings were made in Idaho, California, and Oregon also. In Washington, seven bales (1,362 lbs) were produced on two acres of a "baby" planting on the Les Roy farm. These hops were extracted by Hop Extract Corporation for brewing tests. In Oregon, six bales (1,083 lbs) were produced on two acres of a "baby" planting at Annen Brothers farm. Hops or extracts from these plantings were made available by USBA to brewers for testing. Hops of selection 62013, produced in Washington on about eight acres of "babies," were supplied by the grower to an extractor. This planting of 62013 is not sponsored by USBA. The planting of USDA variety 62013 will be increased in 1972 to pro vide 75 to 100 bales in order to meet the request of USBA members interested in our evaluation of this variety. Propagation of rootstock of 62013 was continued in 1971. About 5,000 planting stocks were produced. It is anticipated that most of this stock will be used to establish a commercial scale agronomic test in California and to fill in missing hills in the Washington tests. The remainder will be propagated at Corvallis and Prosser. The "Information Sheet" giving a detailed description of 62013 is on page 52 of the 1970 Annual Report. Selection 21001 This Hallertau-like selection is being grown at two locations in Oregon of about 300 hills each and at one location in Washington of two acres. These off-station tests were originally started because of the interest expressed by Coors in this selection and are not sponsored by USBA. In Oregon, production of 685 pounds was divided between Anheuser- Busch and Coors by their agreement. The Washington production of 1338 pounds went mostly to Coors, with some to National Breweries. These plantings will be continued in 1972 with an anticipated production of 16 bales. 42 USBA Evaluation of 1971 Hop Samples Members of the USBA Hop Research Subcommittee received samples of six experimental hop selections for evaluation in 1971. All six of the selec tions were triploid Fuggle-types which have been under preliminary agronomic evaluation for two or more years in our nurseries. Instead of assigning numerical evaluations for desirability and poten tial, evaluators were merely asked to score the selections in order of preference and make comments as they saw fit for each of the selections.

Schwaiger, has identified this hop in two consecutive years as the best of the triploid group. Anheuser-Busch requested that we proceed as rapidly as possible into off-station testing for commercial brewing application of this particular genotype. Also in high vavor with many members of the Hop Research Subcommittee was selection 6761-61. This selection is a high alpha-acid, good-storing type, with good yield potential, and no disease problems that we are aware of other than its possible susceptibility to Verticillium wilt. Because planting stock °J,!h? triPloid selection is very limited, we plan to increase them during 1972 m preparation of initiation of off-station tests beginning in 1973.

Perkins) Hop Downy Mildew About 4,000 seedlings from 7 crosses were screened in the greenhouse for resistance to downy mildew systemic crown and shoot infection Resis tant survivors will make up part of the 1972 seedling field nursery Infection ranged from a low of 32% in cross 7005 (Ace. No. 65009 x 63015 M) to 70% in cross 7006 (Ace. No. 65009 x 64035 M). Detailed data are shown in Table 1. A new system was used in 1971 to obtain more detailed data on the type and severity of downy mildew infection. Four "infection classes" were established as follows: Class 0 = no visible systemic infection, Class 1 = external infection of rootstock walled off and a new epidermal layer formed, Class 2 = light systemic infection. Class 4 = severe systemic infection. A disease index was calculated from the weighted averages of the infection classes. During the course of the mildew screening, very heavy foliar infection developed on regrowth from the seedling crowns. Most seedlings had spikes (systemically infected shoots) and severe leaf infection as well A few seedlings were observed that did not have spikes and these were marked in two crosses (7005 and 7006) that had large numbers of progeny. When the seedling crowns were dug and evaluated for systemic crown infection, the marked seedlings were evaluated separately to determine if an obvious rela tionship existed between resistance to shoot infection (lack of spikes) and resistance to systemic crown infection in crosses 7005 and 7006 (Table 1). In cross 7005, seedlings without spikes had nearly as high an incidence of systemic crown infection (32%) as those with spikes (44%). Further, the incidence of severe systemic crown infection was higher in seedlings without spikes than in those with spikes. In cross 7006 (same female parent as 7005, but different male parent), the number of seedlings without spikes was small (19) but there was strong' indication of a positive correlation between resistance to shoot infection and resistance to crown infection. Seedlings with spikes showed 70% systemic crown infection, whereas seedlings without spikes had only 9.5%. Further, none of the 19 seedlings without spikes had severe crown infection (Table 1). In another test, systemic evaluation of breeding lines and advanced selections was continued (see 1970 AR, p. 69). In 1971, emphasis was placed on evaluation of males for resistance to systemic downy mildew crown infection. In this test, about 20 small rhizome pieces of each genotype were planted in greenhouse cans and allowed to form small crowns. In late 54 Table 1.

After about 2 months, crowns were due and evaluated for crown infection. The 1971 test used 34 male genotypes and 8 females, including the named varieties Fuggle, Bullion, and Yakima Cluster, as resistant, intermediate and susceptible controls, respectively (Table 2). In some cases, insuffi cient planting stock made it impossible to obtain the 20-plant level of replication desired. After evaluating several genotypes, especially males, it became apparent that different types of symptoms and different types of expression of resistance were being exhibited. The different reactions observed are described as follows: Healthy - no evidence of infection Pith infection - brown streaks down the pith area only with the same general appearance as the usual systemic flecking. Superficial, external infection walled off - brown areas or lesions confined to the external 1-2 mm and characterized by formation of a new "skin" under the infected area and a sloughing off of the infected area. Light systemic infection - normal brown streaks and flecking of the phloem parenchyma storage tissue but confined to a limited area near the point of inoculation. Heavy systemic infection - brown streaking and flecking through out most of the phloem parenchyma or total rot. In general, if a genotype showed pith infection or superficial infection that was the only type found. If light or heavy systemic infection occurred, there was no pith infection or superficial infection. Accordingly, the following disease classes were established and each crown classified: Class 0 = No systemic infection Class 1-A = Pith infection Class 1-B = External infection walled off and sloughed Class 2 = Light systemic infection Class 4 = Severe systemic infection A "disease index" was then calculated as a weighted average of the disease classes (Table 3). Based on the disease index, each genotype was classified as resistant, moderately susceptible or susceptible (Table 3). 56 Table 2.

Disease classes 1-A and 1-B may reflect a higher level of resistance than indicated by their contri bution to the disease index. For example, genotypes 64032M, 64033M, 64034M rJ u64°SM haVe disease indexes of 1.0, 0.9, 1.07, and 0.9, respectively (lable 2). However, there was only one case of severe systemic infection among the 97 individuals tested. Likewise, genotypes 19182M and 64037M ' displayed a resistance reaction resulting in sloughing off the infected area and only a single case of severe systemic infection in 48 individual tested. These reactions (pith infection only and sloughing of infection) may, in fact, be expressions of a high degree of resistance. The consequence in the field of pith infection and superficial infection needs to be determined. At present, it would seem logical to classify such reactions as highly resistant. Verticillium Wilt Three advanced selections and seven triploid Fuggle selections were evaluated m a field wilt nursery for reaction to isolate strains of Verticillium albo-atrum (1 strain) and V. dahliae (4 strains) For a description of strains and procedure see p. 70, 1970 AR. Criteria used for evaluating reaction to Verticillium were percent infection (determined by isolation culture), symptom severity, and vascular browning (Table 4). Infection ranged for 21 to 55% among the 10 genotypes tested (Table 4) However, there was extensive variability in reaction of different hop genotypes to different strains of Verticillium (Table 5). For example genotype 56013 (Cascade hop) had 80% infection when inoculated with Verticllllum strain No. 138, but only 9% with strain No. 119. Conversely genotype 6761-61 had 73% infection by strain No. 119, but only 37% with strain 138. Other examples are genotypes 65009 with strains 138 and 125 and 6769-11 with strains 148 and 125. As in previous years, Verticillium strain 138 was the most infective and strain 95 from mint the least infective on hops. Strain 138 might seem to be a good tester strain at first glance; however, past experience has indicated that an occasional hop genotype will be resistant to 138 but susceptible to some other strain. Therefore, there seems to be no alterna tive but to test each advanced selection against those strains of Verticillium likely to be most prevalent in commercial hop-growing areas. Tables 6, 7, and 8 give additional summary data on infection, symptom severity, and vascular browning. Stem sections from 15 triploid Fuggle genotypes were received from Mr. Zimmermann, who collected them from the Prosser nursery They were assayed for presence of Verticillium; all were infected. These and other observations lead to the conclusion that the triploid Fuggle selections as a group, are mostly susceptible to Verticillium wilt. 61 Table 4, Percent infection Variety of all inoculum y Average -' symptom severity strains Percent of plants exhibiting Vascular Browning 62013 37.1 .40 41.7 56013 30.8 .42 52.0 65009 27.9 .66 36.0 6769-02 42.5 .65 69.6 6769-03 35.3 .69 50.0 6769-11 20.7 .58 52.2 6769-31 26.1 .50 38.1 6761-61 52.8 .68 56.0 6761-77 34.6 .50 47.8 6761-117 54.9 .62 64.0 1/ Inoculum numbers 138, 148, 125, 95, 119 from Horner collection. 2/ Severity based on the following key: 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4»dead. 0=no symptoms, 1=light, Table 5.

Horner Introduction During 1971, work was concentrated on final evaluation, propagation, and release of wilt-resistant peppermint strain 58, now named Todd's Mitcham. Yields per acre of Todd's Mitcham and other strains in our commercial-sized plots were: Todd's Mitcham, 81 lbs; Mitcham, 73 lbs; strain 92, 81 lbs; and strain 3202, 74 lbs. Verticillium wilt incidence in these plots has consis tently decreased in Todd's Mitcham and increased in Mitcham since the first crop in 1968, Again in 1971, approximately 40 pounds of oil of each strain and Mitcham were obtained by commercial distillation for evaluation by industry users. New Peppermint Variety Released Todd's Mitcham peppermint was officially released as a new crop variety on January 6, 1972. The official Release Notice and data substantiating statements in the Notice follow: The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, Corvallis, Oregon The Washington Agricultural Experiment Station, Pullman, Washington A. M. Todd Company, Kalamazoo, Michigan and The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Plant Science Research Division Beltsville, Maryland NOTICE OF RELEASE OF TODD'S MITCHAM, A STRAIN OF PEPPERMINT RESISTANT TO VERTICILLIUM WILT The above named agencies announce release of a Verticillium wilt-resistant strain of peppermint named Todd's Mitcham. Todd's Mitcham is the first new peppermint variety to be released in the United States. It was developed by M. J. Murray, A. M. Todd Company, by radiation breeding within the cultivar Mitcham. Briefly, Mitcham stolons were x- and neutron-irradiated at Brookhaven National Radiation Laboratory in 1955-1959. Irradiated stolons were planted in a field heavily infested with Verticillium albo-atrum var. menthae. By the sixth year, wilt had reduced the population 99%, and about 58,000 nonwilt selections were made and tested as single clones. Todd's Mitcham, formerly known as Strain 58, was regionally tested for three years at Medaryville, Indiana, Corvallis, Oregon, and Prosser, Washington. In these tests, Todd's Mitcham consistently yielded as much or more than Mitcham in established plantings. Six years of tests at Corvallis, Oregon, and field tests for several years in Indiana have demonstrated that Todd's Mitcham is not different from Mitcham in quality. Product tests by the major U. S. users of peppermint oil have been satisfactory. 96 Todd's Mitcham has slightly darker green herbage color, slightly smaller leaves, a more erect and less branched habit, and is about seven days earlier in maturity than Mitcham. Todd's Mitcham is most suitable for planting in areas infested with Verticillium wilt; in wilt-free areas, it has no advan tage over Mitcham. It is adapted to all current peppermint producing areas of the United States. Approximately 18 acres of certified planting stocks are available in Washington and eight acres in Oregon. A list of growers having certified stock can be obtained from the Oregon State Seed and Plant Certification Office, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, the Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center, Prosser, Washington, or Washington State Department of Agriculture, Yakima. The A. M. Todd Company and the U. S. Department of Agriculture will not distribute planting stock. The agreed upon date for simultaneous release will be January 6, 1972. /S/ G. B.

After it was decided that Todd's Mitcham would be the stain released, it became necessary to remove or recall stocks of the other strains. Only about 8 acres of Todd's Mitcham planting stock will be available for 1972 plantings, and most of this stock will be increased again rather than sold to commercial growers. Todd's Mitcham should be most useful in the Central Oregon Madras area and in the Yakima Valley of Washington where control of wilt by other means is difficult. The main virtue of Todd's Mitcham is resistance to Verticillium wilt. In various greenhouse tests over six years wilt in Todd's was averaged 9% vs. 63% in Mitcham. In the field, the story is 5% for Todd's and 40% for Mitcham. Under fall flaming, wilt incidence declines in Todd's and increases slowly in Mitcham. In Central Oregon we expect that Todd's will very gradually get wilt over a period of 5-6 years. In that area a long term rotation should be planned. The new mint is highly susceptible to rust and normal controls must be applied. World Mentha Collection Obtained Arrangements were made with Dr. Murray for the transfer of the A. M. Todd Company's collection of mints to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Oregon State University. Those agencies will be responsible for maintaining the collection of some 700 species, varieties, and genetic typies of mints in the public interest. Approximately 450 strains have been transferred and are growing in our greenhouse. The collection will be maintain in a field planting beginning in 1972. The Mentha collection will be maintained jointly by Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station and Plant Science Research Division, ARS, USDA, under terms of Memorandum of Understanding as follows: 101 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING between the AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION OF OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY and the UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE PLANT SCIENCE RESEARCH DIVISION relative to Preservation and Maintenance of Species, Varieties, and Germ Plasm of Mint The Agricultural Experiment Station of Oregon State University (hereinafter called the Station) and the Plant Science Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture (hereinafter called the Division) agree to cooperate in a program for the preservation and maintenance of species, varieties, and germ plasm of the genus Mentha.

Requests for termination or any major change shall be submitted to the other party for consideration not less tha 30 days in advance of the effective date desired. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION OF OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY CORVALLIS, OREGON 97331 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE Acting Deputy Administrator T _> t 104 Spearmint Rust Control Spearmint production has been increasing in Oregon. One of the limiting factors in successful production will be rust, especially on Native Spearmint. Native has its own strain of rust that will not go to peppermint; nor will the peppermint strain go to Native. Scotch Spearmint, however, is susceptible to both the Native and the peppermint rust races. Rust control in spearmint is more difficult than for peppermint. The entire life cycle of peppermint rust is aboveground. With spearmint rust, the rhizome buds become systemically infected and the infection moves belowground where we cannot get at it with heat or chemicals. There is a weak point in the spearmint rust life cycle though: rhizome buds have to be reinfected each year. Work in Washington and here indicated that this occurs in October and November. If we destroy the inoculum before rhizome infection takes place, we will have "broken" the life cycle resulting in control We have a series of experiments under way to determine when and who to do this. Present information suggest that flaming between October 1 and 20 will do the job.
