Limonene Selection
Limonene selection refers to breeding practices targeting elevated limonene production in cannabis cultivars. Limonene is a monocyclic monoterpene commonly associated with citrus aromatics in cannabis phenotypes. Breeders working in this category typically select parent plants displaying high limonene volatility across generations, monitoring chromatography data to stabilize the trait. Limonene-forward genetics often emerge from crossing citrus-dominant strain families or preserving landraces with naturally high limonene expression. This terpene class remains popular in breeding programs due to its stability and consistent detection across diverse genetic backgrounds.

Limonene selection enables breeders to develop cultivars with predictable citrus aromatic profiles for market differentiation. High-limonene lines serve as genetic donors in hybridization work targeting specific sensory or aromatic outcomes in F1 and stabilized crosses.
