Chemical Composition
Chemical composition refers to the specific cannabinoid and terpene profiles present in cannabis plant material. This classification encompasses the quantitative and qualitative analysis of compounds like THC, CBD, CBN, and volatile aromatic molecules. Breeders and researchers use chemical composition data to categorize strains and predict phenotypic expression across growing environments. Understanding chemical profiles is foundational to cannabis genetics work, as composition varies significantly between strain families, seed types, and individual plants. Chemical analysis through chromatography and spectrometry has become standard practice in professional breeding programs and regulatory frameworks.

Breeders select parent plants based on desired chemical profiles to stabilize trait expression in offspring. Tracking cannabinoid ratios and terpene concentrations across generations helps identify genetic markers and phenotypic stability in breeding lines.
