The knowledge about microorganisms-activity and diversity under hop production is still limited. We assumed that, different systems of hop production (within the same soil and climatic conditions) significantly influence on the composition of soil microbial populations and its functional activity (metabolic potential). Therefore, we compared a set of soil microbial properties in the field exper...

We recently described, in Cannabis sativa, the oldest sex chromosome system documented so far plants (12–28 Myr old). Based on estimated age, we predicted that it should be shared by its sister genus Humulus, which is known also to possess XY chromosomes. Here, used transcriptome sequencing of an F1 family H. lupulus identify and study chromosomes this species using probabilistic method SEX-DET...

The increasing incidence of Multi Drug Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and Extensively Drug Resistance TB (XDR-TB) worldwide highlight the urgent need to search for newer anti-tuberculosis compounds. It has been determined that pharmaceutical plant, hops (Humulus lupulus), possesses some antibacterial effect. In this study, the antimycobacterial effect of this plant on rifampin sensitive and r...

Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var Lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with history of cultivation spanning more than one thousand years. cones are valued for their use in brewing and contain compounds therapeutic interest including xanthohumol. Efforts to determine how biochemical pathways responsible desirable traits regulated have been challenged by the large (2.8 Gb), repetitive, heterozygous g...

This study compares the yields of different extractions methods for a Brazilian variety Humulus lupulus using scCO2, scCO2 + ethanol, ethyl acetate, and compressed propane. Extracts were characterized by total phenolics content (TPC), flavonoid (TFC), antioxidant activity (AA). The extraction from 2.7 to 10.1 wt% when propane at 20 °C 10 MPa acetate 80 25 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, effect ...
