Limonene Dominant Lines
Limonene-dominant cannabis lines are characterized by elevated concentrations of the terpene limonene, a monoterpene also found in citrus peels and juniper berries. Breeders working in this category often select parent plants exhibiting pronounced lemon, lime, or grapefruit aromatics during phenotype screening. Lineage records frequently report limonene prominence in strains derived from Lemon Haze, Super Lemon Haze, and various Citral-forward genetics. The terpene's volatile nature means limonene-rich flowers may show aromatics that shift noticeably during drying and curing. Understanding limonene expression helps breeders predict terpene stability across environmental conditions and generational crosses.

Breeders select for limonene dominance to maintain citrus flavor profiles across hybrid generations and to study how this terpene interacts with cannabinoid ratios and other monoterpenes in the plant matrix. Limonene's presence is tracked as a chemotaxonomic marker in breeding programs focused on consistent aromatic phenotypes.
