Myrcene Dominant
Myrcene-dominant cannabis varieties are classified by terpene profiles in which myrcene comprises the largest proportion of volatile compounds. Myrcene is a monoterpene commonly found across cannabis, hops, mangoes, and lemongrass. In breeding records, myrcene-dominant strains frequently emerge from certain landrace populations and modern hybrids selected for this chemical signature. The presence of myrcene at elevated levels is often associated with earthier, herbal, or fruity aromatic notes depending on co-occurring terpenes. Breeders and cultivators use myrcene dominance as one analytical marker when selecting parent plants for specific cannabinoid or aroma profiles.

Breeders working in this category monitor myrcene levels through chromatography testing to maintain consistency across generations. Myrcene-dominant genetics serve as foundation material for cultivars intended to express particular flavor or aroma families, and are tracked in breeding logs to predict offspring terpene distributions.
