Caryophyllene Notes
Caryophyllene is a sesquiterpene commonly detected in cannabis flower, recognized by spicy, peppery, and sometimes clove-like aromatic notes. This compound occurs across many plant families and is present in black pepper, hops, and cloves—contributing to their characteristic pungency. In cannabis breeding records, caryophyllene-forward cultivars are frequently documented across both indica and sativa lineages, though it often appears more prominent in certain Kush and Haze derivatives. The terpene's prevalence makes it a useful marker for phenotype selection during breeding programs. Breeders working with high-caryophyllene strains typically note its stability across generation cycles, making it a reliable trait for line stabilization.

Caryophyllene dominance is often selected for in breeding when maintaining aromatic consistency across generations. Its presence is tracked in chemotype documentation to support selective breeding for terpene profiles in commercial and research contexts.
