Cytokinins
Cytokinins are plant hormones rather than volatile terpenes, but they play a significant role in cannabis cultivation and breeding programs. These naturally occurring compounds regulate cell division, nutrient transport, and plant development throughout the growth cycle. In cannabis genetics work, cytokinins are studied for their influence on bud structure, leaf morphology, and overall plant vigor. Breeders and cultivators monitor cytokinin levels to understand how different genetic lines express growth characteristics and resource allocation patterns. While not aromatic compounds themselves, cytokinins interact with volatile terpene production indirectly through their effects on plant metabolism and developmental timing.

Cannabis breeders track cytokinin activity when selecting for plant architecture, branching patterns, and reproductive vigor. Understanding cytokinin signaling helps breeders develop lines with desired phenotypic traits and identify genetic factors influencing plant structure and yield potential.
