Genetic Dominance Terpenes
Genetic Dominance Terpenes refers to terpene profiles that consistently express across generations due to stable genetic inheritance patterns. These terpenes—often myrcene, limonene, or pinene—tend to appear reliably in offspring, even when crossed with genetically distinct parents. Breeders working in this category track terpene expression as a heritable trait, similar to morphology or cannabinoid ratios. Understanding which terpenes breed true helps stabilize flavor and aroma in line-breeding programs. This family is distinct from recessive or unstable terpene expressions, which may skip generations or vary widely within a cultivar.

Breeders select for genetically dominant terpenes to ensure consistency across multiple generations and crosses. Dominance mapping of aromatic compounds helps predict offspring terpene profiles and accelerates the stabilization of desired sensory traits in new cultivars.
