Limonene Terpene Class
Limonene is a monocyclic monoterpene commonly found across cannabis cultivars, citrus plants, and various botanical sources. In cannabis genetics, limonene presence is frequently documented in strains descended from Sativa-dominant lineages and certain Hybrid families. Breeders working in cannabinoid research track limonene as a secondary terpene that often co-expresses with other volatiles like myrcene and pinene. Limonene concentrations vary significantly between individual plants and phenotypes within the same strain, influenced by cultivation conditions, harvest timing, and storage methods. This terpene class remains an important marker in strain documentation and breeding selection protocols.

Cannabis breeders monitor limonene expression when developing strains targeting specific aromatic profiles and terpene ratios. Lineage records frequently report limonene prevalence in Sativa-leaning genetics, making it a useful phenotypic identifier during backcross and F1 hybrid work.
