o objective: many biological studies have been done to determine the activity of medicinal plants on gastrointestinal function. since acetylcholine is the major transmitter involved in the gastrointestinal motility and there are some evidences regarding the cholinergic modulatory effect of hops extract, in the present study spasmolytic and antispasmodic action of hops(humulus lupulus) on acetyl...

Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is cultivated for the female fl owers, or “cones,” which traditionally have been used as a bittering and fl avoring agent in beer. Hop breeding historically relied on relatively simple selection techniques within established breeding lines. Supplementing current breeding material with new genetic sources would enhance a hop breeder’s ability to select for new traits. Th...

We report the identification of two single nucleotide polymorphisms in Cannabis sativa L. that are associated with female and male plant sex phenotypes located on top arm X chromosome. High resolution melt analysis was used to develop validate a novel, rapid method for medical (or) recreational cannabis as well hemp. This can distinguish between dioecious (XY) (XX) plants 100% accuracy also be ...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of humulus lupulus essential oils as an alternative to antibiotic and antioxidant on productive performance, lipids stability of meat and ileum microbial population in broiler chickens during days 1 to 42 of age. a total of 625 day-old arian broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments (200 and 400 mg/kg hu...

Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is a clonally propagated, dioecious, perennial, climbing plant used commercially for their secondary metabolites. The resins containing α- and β-acids, essential oils produced by the lupulin glands, present on female flowers are to add bitterness, aroma flavour beer. Recently, flavonoids, including chalcones flavanones, of hops have been shown exert variety biological a...
