Phytochemical Profiles
Phytochemical profiles refer to the complete chemical composition found within cannabis plant tissues, encompassing terpenes, cannabinoids, flavonoids, and other secondary metabolites. These profiles are strain-specific and influenced by genetics, growing conditions, and harvest timing. Breeders and researchers analyze phytochemical profiles to understand genetic expression and differentiate cultivars at the molecular level. Modern testing methods like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry allow detailed mapping of these compounds. Understanding phytochemical diversity is foundational to cannabis genetics work, as it connects observable plant traits to underlying biochemical expression.
