Uv Exposure Traits
UV exposure traits refer to the genetic predispositions cannabis plants exhibit when cultivated under ultraviolet light, particularly UVA and UVB wavelengths. Rather than a terpene itself, UV exposure influences secondary metabolite production, including cannabinoid and terpene expression. Plants with robust UV tolerance often develop thicker resin layers and altered terpene profiles as adaptive responses. Breeders document these changes across generations to understand phenotypic stability under varied light spectra. UV-resistant genetics remain an active area of cultivation research, particularly for outdoor and greenhouse operations where natural or supplemental UV is present.

Breeders working in high-altitude or intensive-light environments select for UV tolerance to maintain plant vigor and consistent secondary metabolite profiles. Understanding UV response helps predict resin production and terpene expression consistency across diverse growing conditions.
