Citral Traits
Citral traits refer to a cluster of terpene profiles dominated by geranial and neral isomers, commonly associated with lemon, lime, and grapefruit aromatics in cannabis cultivars. These volatile compounds are found across multiple plant families and have attracted breeder attention for their genetic stability and organoleptic consistency. Lineage records frequently report citral-forward expressions in descendants of Haze, Lemon Skunk, and Thai landrace genetics. The trait often co-expresses with limonene and pinene, creating complex citrus-forward terpene matrices. Breeders working in this category typically select parent stock through GC-MS analysis or headspace sampling to isolate and stabilize citral dominance across generations.

Citral-dominant lines serve as foundational material for creating consistent lemon and citrus flavor profiles in F1 hybrids and stabilized cultivars. The trait's heritability makes it a reliable marker for selection programs targeting specific aromatic outcomes.
