Plant Hormones
Plant hormones are naturally occurring compounds that regulate growth, development, and stress responses in cannabis. Key hormone classes include auxins (cell elongation), gibberellins (stem extension and flowering), cytokinins (cell division), abscisic acid (stress tolerance), and ethylene (ripening and senescence). Breeders and cultivators monitor endogenous hormone levels and exogenous applications to influence plant architecture, flowering timing, and yield potential. Understanding hormone interactions helps explain phenotypic variation within a strain family and guides selective breeding for desired structural traits. Hormone expression varies significantly across genetic backgrounds, making this a critical area for lineage documentation and cultivation research.

Breeders leverage hormone-responsive traits to develop cultivars with predictable branching patterns, flowering windows, and stress resilience. Detailed hormone profiling in parent lines informs predictions of offspring architecture and maturation speed.
