Abstract excerpt
Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) is essentially used in the brewing industry as it contributes to flavor, and aroma of beer. However, the genetic diversity of hops is increasingly threatened by diseases, environmental changes, and urbanization. Cryopreservation has emerged as a pivotal strategy for safeguarding and maintaining the genetic diversity of hops. The present work presents a comprehensive study on the...
