Myrcene Base Terpene
Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis, often comprising 20–65% of the total terpene profile in many commercial cultivars. This monoterpene is also found in hops, mangoes, and thyme, contributing herbal and earthy aromatic notes. Strains tagged as 'myrcene-base' typically exhibit myrcene as their dominant terpene, frequently reported in both indica and sativa-leaning lineages. Breeders working with myrcene-dominant parents often observe its association with certain flavor and aroma characteristics. Understanding myrcene prevalence helps geneticists select parent plants for controlled breeding programs and track terpene inheritance across generations.

Myrcene-dominant parents are commonly selected by breeders seeking to reinforce earthy, herbal, or piney aromatic profiles in offspring. Lineage records frequently report myrcene stability across multiple generations when crossing myrcene-heavy cultivars, making it a useful marker for phenotype prediction in breeding.
