Myrcene Terpene Sets

Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis cultivars, often comprising 20–65% of a strain's terpene profile. This monoterpene is commonly associated with herbaceous, earthy, and sometimes fruity or clove-like aromatic notes. Myrcene-dominant profiles frequently appear across diverse lineages—from Indica-leaning cultivars to sativas—making it a foundational building block in many breeding programs. The terpene's prevalence in cannabis, hops, and mangoes has made it a subject of horticultural and phytochemical interest among genetics researchers.

Breeders working with myrcene-rich parents often select for stable expression to maintain consistency across generations. High myrcene cultivars are frequently crossed to establish baseline aroma profiles and predictable terpene ratios in new lines.
