Citrus Terpene Profile
The citrus terpene profile comprises several volatile compounds, including limonene, which is commonly found in cannabis varieties with lemon, orange, or grapefruit aromatics. Limonene and related compounds are also present in citrus fruits, pine, and various plants. In cannabis breeding, this profile is often associated with sativa-leaning genetics and certain Haze and Diesel lineages. The presence of these terpenes in a strain's volatile profile is determined by plant genetics, cultivation conditions, and harvest timing. Breeders working to develop citrus-forward aromatics typically select parent plants that consistently express these chemical markers across generations.

Breeders pursuing citrus-forward phenotypes prioritize parent selection based on GC-MS terpene analysis and sensory evaluation. Maintaining stable citrus expression across seed populations requires multi-generational selection and careful documentation of volatile profiles in different growing environments.
