RESUMO:

Understanding the full potential of Cannabis sativa goes beyond identifying and
quantifying its metabolites. A more comprehensive approach requires in-depth study of its ontogeny, the plant's development throughout its life cycle, from germination to senescence. Plant ontogeny is essential for understanding the regulatory processes involved in the formation of key structures such as flowers, seeds, leaves, and glandular trichomes, which are critical for the biosynthesis and storage of cannabinoids. Detailed anatomical and morpho-functional knowledge at multiple scales is crucial for correlating structural features with the production of bioactive compounds. In the absence of accurate descriptions of plant morphology, many studies tend to focus exclusively on biochemical pathways, often overlooking the structural foundations that influence the plant’s physiological behavior. The ontogeny of C. sativa, as in other plant species, can be interpreted as a continuous developmental process marked by morphological reference points that frequently approximate geometric shapes, such as flowers and seeds. These points signal transitions between developmental phases and reflect the complex interactions among gene expression, hormonal regulation, and environmental factors. Therefore, the study of ontogeny not only enhances our understanding of plant biology but also provides valuable insights for cultivation strategies, genetic improvement, and pharmaceutical exploitation.
