Myrcene Sesquiterpene
Myrcene is a sesquiterpene commonly detected in cannabis cultivars, though it also appears abundantly in hops, mangoes, and lemongrass. In breeding records, strains tagged with myrcene-dominant profiles frequently report earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic notes. Lineage documentation suggests myrcene accumulation may correlate with certain Indica-associated genetics, though terpene expression varies significantly by cultivation environment, harvest timing, and phenotype. Breeders working with myrcene-forward cultivars often track this marker across generations to stabilize aromatic profiles. Myrcene's volatility and chemotype stability make it a useful reference point in cannabis taxonomy and strain documentation.

Breeders select for or away from myrcene abundance depending on target flavor and aroma goals. Myrcene levels are monitored during phenotype hunting to identify consistent chemotype expressions across seed lines.
