Limonene Marker
Limonene is a monoterpene frequently detected in cannabis cultivars, particularly in strains descended from Lemon Haze, Sour Diesel, and similar citrus-forward lineages. Gas chromatography and other analytical methods identify limonene as a major volatile compound in these profiles. Breeders working in this category often select parent plants showing consistent limonene expression to stabilize the trait across generations. Limonene presence is commonly associated with citrus, pine, or fuel-like aromatic descriptors in breeding documentation and lab reports. Understanding limonene as a genetic marker helps breeders track inheritance patterns and maintain chemotype consistency in targeted crosses.

Breeders use limonene detection as a selection criterion when stabilizing terpene profiles or developing cultivars with specific aromatic signatures. Limonene-dominant parents are frequently backcrossed to establish predictable chemotype expression in F1 and F2 generations.
