Flavonoid Profile
Flavonoids are a diverse class of polyphenolic compounds found throughout cannabis plants, distinct from volatile terpenes but often discussed alongside aromatic profiles. These non-volatile metabolites contribute to plant pigmentation, UV protection, and the visual spectrum from deep purples to vibrant greens. Cannabis lineages commonly accumulate specific flavonoid compounds—including anthocyanins, catechins, and quercetin—based on genetic background and growing conditions. Breeders working in specialty phenotype development frequently reference flavonoid expression when selecting for particular visual traits or plant vigor. Flavonoid profiles are often tagged as secondary markers of plant health and environmental stress response, though their specific roles in cannabis remain under investigation.

Breeders monitor flavonoid expression as an indicator of genetic stability and environmental adaptation across generations. Selecting for consistent anthocyanin or catechin profiles can help establish recognizable phenotype markers within a cultivar family.
