Oxidative Stress Compounds
Oxidative stress compounds in cannabis refer to secondary metabolites produced during plant metabolism, particularly under environmental pressure or senescence. These include reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers and compounds that modulate oxidative pathways—such as certain phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and terpenes with antioxidant properties. Breeders and researchers track these metabolites as markers of plant resilience and biochemical maturity. While oxidative stress itself is a physiological process, the plant's response compounds have become a focus in breeding programs studying stress adaptation and metabolite stability. Understanding this family requires knowledge of plant physiology rather than consumer effects.

Plant scientists select for oxidative stress response traits to improve crop resilience under heat, drought, or pathogenic pressure. Monitoring these compounds during seed development and storage helps breeders preserve genetic stability and predict long-term viability.
