Temperature Terpene Expression
Temperature terpene expression describes how volatile aromatic compounds in cannabis respond to and shift across different temperature ranges during cultivation, drying, and curing. Terpenes are sensitive molecules that vaporize, degrade, or transform depending on heat exposure—lower temperatures generally preserve volatile compounds like limonene and pinene, while warmer conditions may favor the emergence or retention of higher-boiling-point terpenes such as myrcene and caryophyllene. Breeders and cultivators working with temperature control often observe phenotypic variation in aroma profiles across identical genetics grown in different climates or controlled environments. This trait is particularly relevant to post-harvest handling, where curing temperature significantly influences the final aromatic presentation of a cultivar. Understanding temperature's role in terpene stability has

Breeders selecting for consistent aroma profiles often evaluate how candidate lines express terpenes across temperature gradients, helping identify stable or environmentally-responsive chemotypes. Seed producers and cultivators use temperature profiling during development to predict how a strain's aroma will translate across different regional growing conditions and storage scenarios.
