Sativa Terpene Expression
Sativa terpene expression refers to the volatile aromatic compounds commonly associated with Cannabis sativa lineage genetics, typically characterized by bright, energetic profiles featuring limonene, pinene, and terpinolene. These terpenes are frequently documented across sativa-dominant strains and are often linked to uplifting sensory experiences in breeding literature. The expression pattern reflects how sativa genetics tend toward terpene compositions emphasizing citrus, herbal, and spicy notes compared to indica counterparts. Breeders working with sativa lines often select for these terpene combinations to maintain strain family identity and predictability in phenotype selection.
