Citral Phenotypes
Citral phenotypes represent cannabis plants expressing high levels of citral, a monoterpene compound comprising geranial and neral isomers. These phenotypes are commonly associated with lemon, lime, and grapefruit aromatic profiles in cannabis breeding work. Citral-dominant plants have been documented across multiple strain families, often appearing in descendants of Lemon Haze, Citral, and other terpene-forward lineages. Breeders working in this category typically select for citral accumulation across generations to stabilize these aromatic expressions. Citral phenotypes remain valuable in breeding programs focused on terpene diversity and sensory profiling, independent of cannabinoid ratios.

Breeders use citral phenotype selection to establish stable aromatic lines and understand monoterpene inheritance patterns. Citral stability across offspring helps identify which parent plants carry consistent terpene-expression traits for future crosses.
