Alpha Selves
Myrrhis
Alpha Selves are botanical parts that express distinct structural and biochemical roles.
System Logic
- Distributed expression of specialized metabolites across multiple organs
- Moderate aromatic specialization without a single dominant biochemical axis
Leaves
- Moderate to high metabolite diversity
- Anethole and flavonoids
- Aromatic interface and chemical defense
Seeds
- Moderate specialization with concentration of volatile compounds
- Aromatic oils
- Dispersal and chemical continuity
Flowers
- Low to moderate metabolite specialization
- Volatile compounds
- Reproductive signaling
Roots
- Low metabolite specialization
- Phenolics and storage-associated compounds
- Anchoring and baseline defense
