The work is concerned with the investigation of the dependence of total res
ins content and content of alpha -acids on the number of lupulin glands in
the cones of 12 hop genotypes. It was found that the increase in the number
of lupulin glands is accompanied by an increase in content of total resins
and alpha -acids. The increase of lupulin glands in the cones by 100 corre
sponds to an increase of total resins by 3% and alpha -acids by 2%. The dep
endence of the contents of total resins and a-acids on the number of lupuli
n glands is significant (r = 0.649, r = 0.641).
