Moisture Stress Volatiles
Moisture stress volatiles are aromatic compounds plants produce in response to water deficit conditions during cultivation. These secondary metabolites—including certain terpenes and sulfur-containing compounds—emerge as part of the plant's physiological adaptation to drought or inconsistent watering. In cannabis breeding contexts, growers and breeders observe these aroma signatures as indicators of plant stress response rather than as primary flavor targets. Understanding moisture stress volatiles helps cultivators recognize suboptimal growing conditions and informs breeding work focused on drought tolerance or water-use efficiency.

Breeders monitoring for drought-resilient cultivars often track moisture stress volatile profiles as phenotypic markers of stress response intensity. Lines showing muted stress volatile production under water deficit conditions are sometimes selected for environments with variable water availability or resource-limited cultivation settings.
