D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 7125625Members of the programme group are leading two national breeding programmes: for hop (from 2010 Andreja) and for cabbage (from 2014 Katarina). In the past ten years they: - registered eight new hopvarieties [86-93]; - registered one hybrid cabbage variety [94]; - shared their knowledge and latest findings with hop growers in several lectures about plant protection and about characteristics of new hop varieties; - developed a new molecular marker useful for determination of hop sex in an early developmental phase [95]; - developed a software to support the multi-criteria model DEX-HOP 1.0 for assessing the perspective hop breeding lines [96]; - published a leaflet fop hop growers about severe hop stunt disease [97].
