Limonene Citrus Terpenes
Limonene is a monocyclic monoterpene commonly found across citrus-forward cannabis cultivars, though it also appears in many other plant families. In cannabis genetics, limonene-dominant strains frequently derive from parent lines selected for aromatic expression, particularly those with lemon, lime, or grapefruit characteristics. Limonene's volatile nature means preservation conditions directly impact its expression during cultivation and storage. Breeding programs often retain limonene-rich genetics for phenotypic diversity and terpene profiling studies. This terpene category bridges commercial citrus chemistry with cannabis strain documentation practices.

Breeders working in the citrus terpene space use limonene-rich parents to stabilize aromatic profiles across F1 and F2 generations. Selection for limonene expression has become a documented breeding criterion in many contemporary genetics programs, particularly when establishing consistent sensory markers within strain families.
