Limonene Phenotype
The limonene phenotype describes cannabis plants whose terpene profiles are dominated by limonene, a monoterpene also found in citrus peels and some herbs. Limonene occurs naturally in many plant families and is one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis breeding. Expression of the limonene phenotype varies across strains due to genetic factors and environmental conditions during cultivation. Growers and breeders identify limonene-dominant plants through sensory assessment and laboratory terpene profiling. This phenotype appears across diverse strain families and genetic backgrounds, reflecting its prevalence in available germplasm.

Breeders working toward citrus-forward aromatic profiles often select for limonene-dominant parents in their crosses. Stabilizing limonene expression across generations requires consistent selection and environmental management, as terpene ratios can shift between generations and growing conditions.
