Terpene Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) is a sesquiterpene commonly detected in cannabis, pepper, cloves, and hops. In cannabis breeding records, strains tagged with caryophyllene-forward profiles often derive from parent lines including Sour Diesel, OG Kush, and Gelato families. The compound is frequently associated with spicy, peppery, or woody aromatic descriptors. Caryophyllene's presence in a strain's terpene profile is tracked through gas chromatography and mass spectrometry during breeding selection. Breeders working in high-terpene phenotype stabilization often monitor caryophyllene alongside limonene and myrcene to develop consistent chemotypes across generations.

Breeders select for caryophyllene-dominant phenotypes to establish recognizable aroma signatures and maintain lineage identity across seed batches. Caryophyllene levels are heritable and commonly stabilized in F2–F3 generations when selecting parent stock for consistent terpene expression.
