Cedrene

Cedrene is a sesquiterpene found in cannabis and various plant essential oils, including cedarwood. In cannabis genetics, cedrene is often reported alongside woody, dry, or spice-forward aromatic profiles. Lineage records and terpene analysis frequently document cedrene in strains selected for cedar, pine, or earth-dominant characteristics. Breeders studying terpene expression sometimes track cedrene as part of broader sesquiterpene ratios that influence plant phenotype and aroma stability across generations.

Breeders working with cedar or woody aroma families often monitor cedrene levels as a secondary marker alongside dominant terpenes like limonene or myrcene. Sesquiterpene stability, including cedrene expression, is relevant to strain preservation and consistency across seed batches.
