Limonene Myrcene Ratio
The limonene-to-myrcene ratio represents the relative abundance of these two dominant monoterpenes in cannabis flower, influencing overall aromatic profile and volatility. High limonene ratios tend toward citrus, bright, and sharp top notes, while elevated myrcene typically contributes earthier, herbal, or musky undertones. This ratio varies significantly across cultivars due to genetic expression and environmental factors during cultivation. Breeders working in this category often use terpene profiling to stabilize desired aromatic signatures across generations. Understanding this ratio helps genetic researchers map the aromatic diversity within cannabis populations and track how breeding selections shift terpene expression.

Breeders targeting specific aromatic outcomes use limonene-myrcene ratios as a selectable trait marker. Stabilizing this ratio across multiple generations allows development of cultivars with consistent sensory characteristics for commercial and research purposes.
