Monoterpene Dominant Phenotypes
Monoterpene-dominant phenotypes are cannabis expressions where single terpene compounds represent a disproportionately high percentage of the plant's volatile profile. Common monoterpenes in cannabis include limonene, myrcene, pinene, and terpinolene. These phenotypes emerge through selective breeding for specific aromatic and flavor characteristics, often appearing consistently across multiple generations when stable genetics are maintained. Monoterpene dominance differs from complex polyterpenoid profiles where many volatile compounds exist in relative balance. Understanding monoterpene-dominant expression is useful for breeders seeking to stabilize particular sensory or chemical signatures across a line.

Breeders working with monoterpene-dominant phenotypes use them as parent material to lock in distinctive aromatic profiles across offspring. Stable monoterpene expression serves as a predictable genetic marker in line stabilization and IBL (inbred line) development.
