Doubled Haploid Dh
Doubled haploid (DH) is not a terpene but a plant breeding technique producing homozygous lines from haploid cells. In cannabis genetics, DH methods accelerate the creation of stable, uniform cultivars by doubling chromosome sets in immature pollen or ovule-derived plants. This approach enables breeders to fix desired traits—including terpene profiles, morphology, and cannabinoid ratios—in a single generation rather than multiple selection cycles. DH lines serve as foundational genetics for hybrid development and seed production, though the technique requires specialized laboratory protocols and remains less common in cannabis than in staple crops.

Breeders employ DH lines to rapidly stabilize new genetics and create homozygous parental lines for F1 hybrid crosses. DH-derived cultivars can be more predictable and uniform across generations, reducing phenotypic variation and supporting consistent terpene and cannabinoid expression in commercial production.
