Aneuploidy
Aneuploidy refers to an abnormal chromosome count in cannabis plants—a deviation from the standard diploid (2n) state. This genetic condition occurs when plants have too many or too few chromosomes, potentially arising from errors during meiosis, pollination stress, or environmental factors. While most aneuploid plants exhibit reduced vigor or fertility, breeders occasionally study these aberrations to understand chromosome behavior and genome stability. Aneuploidy is not an aroma or phenotypic trait per se, but rather a chromosomal anomaly that can affect overall plant viability and breeding outcomes. Documentation of aneuploid events in breeding programs helps establish baseline genetic quality control standards.

Breeders monitor for aneuploid individuals as markers of genetic instability or environmental stress during seed production and clone propagation. Identifying and removing aneuploid plants supports consistency and seed viability in commercial breeding lines.
