Sesqui Terpene Expression
Sesquiterpenes are 15-carbon volatile compounds that emerge prominently during cannabis flower development and cure. Common sesquiterpenes in cannabis include caryophyllene, humulene, and β-myrcene, each contributing distinct aromatic profiles and volatility characteristics. Breeders and researchers track sesquiterpene expression as a marker of chemotype stability and post-harvest behavior. Unlike monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes tend to persist longer during storage, making them valuable for understanding strain stability. Lineage records frequently report sesquiterpene-dominant phenotypes as indicators of particular parent genetics or environmental response patterns.

Breeders working in sesquiterpene-focused selection monitor these compounds to predict cure profiles, storage longevity, and terpene ratios across generations. Sesquiterpene expression patterns can indicate environmental stress response or genetic predisposition to specific volatile profiles.
