India, June 2 -- This new research also marks a significant scientific milestone for CRL

Climate change is putting increased pressure on hop production. In key growing regions, rising temperatures, prolonged droughts and unpredictable weather are already affecting both the yield and the quality of the hops harvested.

Now, the Carlsberg Research Laboratory (CRL) has taken a major step to help address that challenge. CRL scientists have produced the most detailed genetic map of hops to date, giving researchers an unprecedented view of the crop's genetic complexity and its potential for improvement. The breakthrough, now published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Communications, provides a powerful new foundation for developin...
