Leaf Morphology Serration
Leaf serration—the saw-tooth edge pattern on cannabis foliage—is a morphological trait influenced by genetics and environmental conditions. Serration intensity varies across cultivars, with some strains displaying deeply jagged margins while others show smoother edges. This trait is often linked to specific genetic backgrounds and has been observed across both indica and sativa-dominant lineages. Breeders and cultivators document serration patterns as part of phenotype characterization, though the trait itself does not directly correlate with cannabinoid or terpene content. Serration may influence light interception and leaf surface area, potentially affecting photosynthetic efficiency.

Plant breeders track leaf serration as a visual marker for phenotype consistency and genetic stability within seed lines. Serration patterns can assist in early plant identification and may indicate broader morphological traits inherited from parent genetics.
