Uv Stress Metabolites
UV stress metabolites refer to secondary compounds plants produce in response to ultraviolet light exposure, particularly UV-B radiation. In cannabis breeding, these metabolites—including flavonoids and other phenolic compounds—are of interest because they accumulate under specific light conditions during cultivation. Breeders working in controlled-environment agriculture study how genetic lineages respond differently to UV stress, as some cultivars show more pronounced metabolite production than others. Documentation of UV-stress phenotypes helps establish consistency in phytochemical profiles across generations. This trait is primarily relevant to growers and breeders optimizing cultivation protocols rather than a consumer-facing aroma descriptor.

Breeders select for or against UV-stress response traits depending on cultivation goals and desired secondary metabolite profiles. Understanding genetic variance in UV-induced compound production informs decisions about light spectrum, intensity, and exposure timing in breeding programs.
