Myrcene Chemotype
Myrcene chemotype refers to cannabis cultivars where myrcene is the predominant terpene, typically comprising 20-65% of the total terpene profile. This classification is determined through chromatographic analysis and represents a significant portion of commercially available cultivars. Myrcene-dominant strains are commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and fruity aromatic notes, though individual phenotypes and growing conditions influence final expression. The prevalence of myrcene chemotypes in breeding programs reflects both its natural abundance in cannabis genetics and its occurrence across diverse lineages. Understanding chemotype classification helps breeders identify and stabilize terpene profiles across generations.

Breeders working with myrcene chemotypes can predictably select for this dominant terpene through marker-assisted selection and progeny testing. Many foundational cultivars express myrcene-dominant profiles, making this chemotype accessible for creating stable F1 and inbred lines.
