cannabis
Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants native to Asia, encompassing variably classified species or subspecies prized for their complex chemistry and versatile fiber. It serves as a compelling model for studying plant secondary metabolism, particularly the biosynthesis of cannabinoids and terpenes, offering insights into plant defense mechanisms and specialized compound production. Ongoing taxonomic debate over its species boundaries also makes it a useful case study in plant classification and genetic diversity research.
