[[Terpene]]s are the primary constituents of essential oils and are responsible for the aroma characteristics of the ''[[Cannabis]]'' plant. Together with [[cannabinoid]]s, terpenes illustrate a potential synergic and/or [[entourage effect]], with their interactions having only been speculated on for the last few decades. Hundreds of terpenes have been identified that additionally add to the overall cannabis sensory experience, contributing largely to the consumer’s experiences, as well as the market price. These terpenes also enhance many therapeutic efforts, especially as aromatherapy. To shed light on the importance of terpenes in the [[cannabis industry]], the purpose of this review is to morphologically describe sources of cannabis terpenes and to explain the [[biosynthesis]] and diversity of terpene profiles in different cannabis [[chemotype]]s.

Over the last few decades, a growing body of evidence has increasingly showed the therapeutic capabilities of ''[[Cannabis]]'' plants.

As ''Cannabis'' is a [[Dioecy|dioecious]] plant, one main factor is fertilization after successful pollination.

"Fertilization following pollination predominantly decreases phytocannabinoids accumulation and alters the accumulation of terpenoids in Cannabis inflorescences"

Over the last few decades, a growing body of evidence has increasingly showed the therapeutic capabilities of Cannabis plants. These capabilities have been attributed to the specialized secondary metabolites stored in the glandular trichomes of female inflorescences, mainly phytocannabinoids and terpenoids. The accumulation of these metabolites in the flower is versatile and influenced by a largely unknown regulation system, attributed to genetic, developmental, and environmental factors. As Cannabis is a dioecious plant, one main factor is fertilization after successful pollination. Fertilized flowers are considerably less potent, likely due to changes in the contents of phytocannabinoids and terpenoids. (Full article...)
