Antioxidant Phenotypes
Antioxidant phenotypes refer to cannabis plant expressions characterized by elevated levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and terpenes with recognized free-radical-scavenging chemistry. These traits are often associated with darker pigmentation, UV-dense foliage, and specific terpene profiles including myrcene, pinene, and limonene. Breeders working in this category frequently track secondary metabolite accumulation through selective crosses of chemotype-rich lineages. Documentation of antioxidant compound profiles typically relies on chromatographic analysis rather than visual assessment alone. This classification interests breeding programs focused on phytochemical diversity and preservation of heritage genetics.

Breeders incorporate antioxidant phenotype selection to stabilize desirable secondary metabolite ratios across generations. Crosses targeting polyphenol expression have become relevant in research-oriented breeding for trait mapping and cannabinoid-terpene interaction studies.
