Abstract
A plant medium composition and methodology of application of the medium as it pertains to the micropropagation of Cannabis and related plant species is described that yields two to four-fold increase in the number of biologically functional nodes from axillary shoots thereby allowing for exponential amplification of such plant species. The compositions comprise basal plant media supplemented with: (i) one or more cytokinins, and (ii) one or more gibberellins and/or brassinolides. This achievement in exponential shoot growth of these plant species represents a marked step forward in the Cannabis industry as it pertains to commercial micropropagation of a recreationally and medicinally important plant whose extracts are the subject of numerous clinical trials.
