Terpene Inheritance
Terpene inheritance refers to how aromatic compounds pass from parent plants to offspring through genetic expression. Breeders working in cannabis genetics study terpene profiles across generations to understand which compounds breed true and which show variation. Terpene inheritance patterns are often complex, involving multiple genes and environmental factors that influence final expression. Lineage records frequently report consistent terpene markers in stable lines—such as limonene dominance in certain Lemon families or myrcene prevalence in Kush-type genetics. Understanding terpene inheritance helps breeders predict aromatic outcomes and stabilize desirable scent profiles across successive generations.

Professional breeders use terpene inheritance maps to select parent plants likely to produce offspring with target aromatic profiles. Tracking terpene expression across F1, F2, and stabilized generations informs decisions about which crosses merit continued development versus culling.
