Effects of Cytokinins on Morphogenesis, Total (Poly)Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Capacity of In Vitro-Cultured Hop Plantlets, cvs. Cascade and Columbus.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Humulus lupulus L. plants constitute a rich source of bioactive compounds. The synthesis of bioactive compounds in plants is often triggered by the activation of secondary metabolism, which can be induced by biotic or abiotic elicitors. In vitro, the effect of the elicitors can be studied in a controlled environment and in a small space, independently of seasonal variations. Cytokinins are frequently used in plant tissue culture for bud regeneration, branching and shoot elongation due to their role in cell division enhancement. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different cytokinins on the growth parameters, total (poly)phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of in vitro-grown hop plants to evaluate hop vitro-derived biomass as a potential source of bio
