Myrcene Dominant Chemotype
Myrcene-dominant chemotypes are cannabis varieties in which myrcene comprises the largest proportion of the terpene profile, often exceeding 50% of total terpene content. Myrcene is a monoterpene commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic notes. Lineage records frequently report myrcene dominance in varieties descended from tropical landrace genetics and certain Afghan and Moroccan breeding lines. This chemotype classification helps breeders identify parent plants for specific terpene-forward hybridization programs. Myrcene-dominant plants are often selected when breeders aim to preserve or emphasize particular aromatic families across generations.

Breeders working in this category typically use myrcene-dominant parents as reliable terpene anchors in crosses, since myrcene expression tends to persist across filial generations. Stability of myrcene dominance makes it useful for maintaining consistent aromatic profiles in commercial and preservation-focused breeding lines.
