Myrcene Rich Chemotypes
Myrcene-rich chemotypes are cannabis varieties where myrcene comprises a substantial portion of the terpene profile, often 50% or greater of total terpenes. Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis and is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and spicy aromatic notes. These chemotypes frequently appear in landrace populations and modern indica-leaning cultivars, though they're found across both subspecies. The prevalence of myrcene in these varieties reflects its natural abundance in the plant's secondary metabolism. Breeders studying chemotype distribution use myrcene-dominant strains as genetic reference points for understanding terpene inheritance patterns.

Breeders working with myrcene-rich chemotypes often prioritize them as parent stock when seeking to stabilize earthy or herbal aromatic profiles in new crosses. These cultivars serve as consistent terpene donors in lineage development and are frequently selected for phenotype consistency across generations.
