Cover Story: Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is an important ornamental crop that has been cultivated for more than 300 years. Despite its economic importance, advanced breeding methods have been limited by the lack of genetic resources. To that end, USDA scientists and university partners have developed the largest and most saturated genetic linkage map for hydrangea to date. The molecular markers developed in this study greatly expand the current set of genetic resources in H. macrophylla. These resources can be immediately used for applied breeding and genomic research and provide a long-term base for genetic improvement of hydrangea to support continued profitability of the nursery and floriculture industries.
