Micropropagation of blackberry (Rubus spp.) has emerged as a key technique for large-scale production genetically uniform, disease-free plants. This review summarizes more than half century in vitro culture research, covering fundamental aspects such establishment, proliferation, rooting, acclimation, genetic stability and conservation. Optimization media, plant growth regulators environmental conditions significantly improved the efficiency micropropagation. Recent advances, including bioreactors, cryopreservation biostimulants, have further stress tolerance. In addition, studies on bioactive compounds micropropagated blackberries highlight their potential nutritional pharmaceutical applications. Despite progress, challenges microbial contamination, somaclonal variation, response variability among cultivars remain critical areas future research. The integration nanotechnology, alternative systems (i.e., bioreactors), synthetic seed technology should represent research trend micropropagation, ensuring sustainable conservation resources.
