Leaf Morphology Serrations
Leaf serration refers to the jagged, saw-tooth edges found on cannabis fan leaves, a trait controlled by both genetic and environmental factors. Serration depth and frequency vary widely across cultivars, with some strains displaying deeply notched margins while others show smoother edges. This morphological feature is one of several leaf characteristics breeders observe when documenting plant architecture and phenotypic expression. Serration patterns are commonly noted in lineage records and strain descriptions, though the trait can shift under different growing conditions. Understanding leaf morphology helps breeders distinguish between phenotypes within a cross and track inheritance of plant structure traits across generations.

Breeders track serration patterns as a visual marker for phenotype identification and plant vigor assessment. Consistent serration characteristics across a stable line can serve as a reliable morphological indicator when combined with other leaf and stem traits.
