Working With Xplant
Xplant Laboratory, Inc. specializes in the following agricultural plants:
- Hazelnuts (OSU EFB resistant cultivars, over 14 varieties)
- Hops/Humulus (National Clean Plant Network-Hops over 40 varieties)

To start a new plant in our laboratory, we begin by researching and determining the optimal media and method for production. Next, we initiate laboratory propagation and establish the necessary growing conditions for healthy plants and optimal yield. Once optimized, plantlets are propagated to your desired quantity.
The end product we deliver to you is a in vitro plantlet without roots (Stage 2) or rooted (Stage 3) and is ready for greenhouse acclimatization.
We also provide plants rooted and soil acclimatized (Stage 4), using our greenhouse or the nursery of your choice to provide this service.
We also offer several services to complement your needs, including seed production, pathogen testing, breeding, creation of multi-ploid plants and repository.
