Stalked Trichomes
Stalked trichomes are glandular structures with a visible stalk or stem supporting a terminal head containing cannabinoid and terpene-producing cells. This morphology distinguishes them from sessile (non-stalked) trichomes and bulbous forms, making them readily observable under magnification. Stalked trichomes are the most abundant trichome type on mature cannabis flowers and are central to cannabinoid and terpene expression. Lineage records and breeding documentation frequently reference stalk density and head size as heritable traits affecting resin production profiles. Understanding trichome architecture remains foundational to cannabis genetics study and selective breeding programs.

Breeders assess stalked trichome density, stalk length, and head morphology as indirect markers for resin-producing capacity and secondary metabolite expression. These observable traits support phenotype selection and parent-line evaluation in controlled breeding environments.
