Limonene Dominant Phenotypes
Limonene-dominant phenotypes are cannabis plants expressing elevated concentrations of limonene, a monoterpene commonly associated with citrus aromatics. These phenotypes arise from selective breeding targeting terpene expression, often appearing in lineages descended from citrus-forward parent plants. Limonene production is influenced by both genetics and environmental factors including temperature and light cycles during flower maturation. Breeders identify and stabilize limonene dominance through repeated phenotype selection and testing. Understanding terpene-dominant classifications helps cannabis geneticists map terpene heritability and predict aromatic profiles across breeding populations.

Limonene-dominant phenotypes serve as genetic markers for terpene inheritance studies and are selectively crossed to establish consistent citrus-forward aroma lines. Breeders working with these phenotypes document terpene stability across generations to develop cultivars with predictable sensory profiles.
