A significant reduction of hop latent viroid (HLVd) content during the generative phase of hop was detected using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) and molecular hybridisation methods. A low transmissibility of HLVd through seed may be a feature valuable for the selection and maintenance of viroid-free hybrid hops.
