Uv Induced Compounds
UV-induced compounds refer to secondary metabolites that cannabis plants synthesize in response to ultraviolet radiation exposure, particularly UV-B light. These include flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other polyphenolic molecules that accumulate in plant tissues as a protective mechanism. Breeders and cultivators studying cannabis genetics have documented increased levels of these compounds under controlled UV-B exposure during flowering. The relationship between light spectrum, plant stress responses, and metabolite production remains an active area of cultivation research. Understanding UV-induced biosynthesis is relevant to breeding programs exploring environmental resilience and phytochemical diversity.

Breeders working in controlled-environment systems use UV exposure protocols to study genetic variation in stress-response pathways and secondary metabolite accumulation. This data informs selection for cultivars with distinct chemotype profiles and environmental adaptation traits.
