Temperature Sensitive Terpenes
Temperature-sensitive terpenes are volatile organic compounds whose expression and stability vary significantly based on growing conditions and post-harvest handling. Common examples include limonene, pinene, and linalool—compounds that can evaporate or degrade when exposed to heat during cultivation, drying, or storage. Breeders and cultivators working with high-terpene cultivars must manage environmental temperatures carefully to preserve these compounds. Understanding terpene volatility is central to genetics preservation, as improper storage or processing can substantially alter a strain's aromatic and chemical profile across generations.

Breeders selecting for specific terpene profiles must account for temperature fluctuations during phenotype expression and seed production. Cultivators aiming to stabilize terpene-rich lineages often employ cooler final growth stages and low-temperature drying protocols to minimize losses of volatile compounds.
