In Vitro Propagation
In vitro propagation is a tissue-culture technique used in cannabis breeding to clone plants from small cellular samples under sterile laboratory conditions. Rather than a terpene, it is a horticultural method that preserves genetic identity and allows breeders to rapidly multiply elite cultivars without seed. Cannabis breeders employ in vitro propagation to maintain rare or unstable lineages, bypass seed-production bottlenecks, and create large uniform plant populations for research and commercial cultivation. The method produces genetically identical offspring, making it valuable for stabilizing phenotypes before broader seed development.

Breeders use in vitro propagation to rescue valuable genetics, accelerate breeding timelines, and sidestep hermaphroditism or low seed viability in difficult crosses. It also enables archival preservation of rare cultivars and consistent replicate populations for terpene profiling and cannabinoid studies.
