Terpene Dominance Patterns
Terpene dominance patterns refer to the consistent hierarchical relationships between volatile compounds within a cannabis chemotype—for example, when limonene consistently exceeds pinene, or myrcene remains the primary terpene across multiple phenotypes. These patterns are shaped by underlying genetics, cultivation conditions, and harvest timing, making them useful markers for strain identification and lineage verification. Breeders and chemists track dominance hierarchies to predict aromatic and flavor profiles across generations. Understanding these patterns helps distinguish between genetically stable cultivars and environmental variations, particularly in bulk flower or extract production where consistency is valued.

Breeders working in terpene-focused programs use dominance patterns as phenotypic selectors—identifying plants where desired terpenes reliably rank first or second in the profile. Stable terpene hierarchies indicate genetic consolidation and are often prioritized in stabilized line development and seed production.
