Limonene Traits
Limonene is a monoterpene commonly found across cannabis cultivars, particularly those with citrus-forward aromatic profiles. Lineage records frequently report limonene prominence in strains descended from Lemon Haze, Sour Diesel, and various Citral-dominant parent lines. Breeders working in this category often select for this trait when developing cultivars marketed with lemon, lime, or grapefruit descriptors. Limonene's volatility means it degrades readily under heat and UV exposure, making preservation conditions critical for genetic expression studies. The trait shows variable expression across phenotypes within the same genotype, influenced by growing conditions, soil chemistry, and harvest timing.

Breeders use limonene-dominant phenotypes as parent material to stabilize citrus aromatics in F1 and subsequent generations. This trait also serves as a marker in backcrossing programs targeting specific terpene profiles alongside cannabinoid ratios.
