Leaf Structure
Leaf structure refers to the physical morphology and arrangement of cannabis foliage—including blade shape, serration patterns, venation, and overall canopy architecture. While not a volatile terpene, leaf structure is a critical phenotypic trait recorded across breeding lineages and cultivation practices. Plant morphology directly influences light penetration, airflow, and photosynthetic efficiency. Breeders frequently document leaf characteristics as part of strain identification and stability assessment. Leaf structure varies significantly between sativa-dominant, indica-dominant, and hybrid lineages, with records showing consistent patterns within established breeding families.

Breeders select for leaf structure based on cultivation environment and breeding goals—narrow leaflet sativas for warm climates and airflow, broader leaflet indicas for dense canopies. Consistent leaf morphology is a marker of genetic stability and is routinely documented in F1, F2, and inbred line development.
