Terpene Pinene
Pinene is a bicyclic monoterpene commonly found across cannabis cultivars and many other plants, including pine trees and rosemary. Two isomers exist: alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, which differ in molecular structure and are often detected separately in laboratory cannabinoid profiles. In cannabis, pinene is frequently associated with sharp, resinous, or woody aromatic notes. Lineage records and breeding documentation often highlight pinene-dominant strains within specific chemotype families. Understanding pinene's presence in a strain's terpene profile is useful for breeders selecting parent plants and for researchers studying cannabis volatile compound variation.

Breeders working in terpene-targeted selection sometimes prioritize pinene levels when developing strains intended for specific aromatic profiles. Pinene expression can be influenced by genetic background, cultivation conditions, and harvest timing, making it a relevant trait for phenotype hunting and cultivar differentiation.
