Myrcene Suppression
Myrcene suppression refers to cultivars bred to express notably lower myrcene levels relative to other monoterpenes, despite myrcene typically being a major component in cannabis. Breeders pursuing this classification often work with parent lines selected for terpene profiles dominated by limonene, pinene, or caryophyllene instead. This trait emerges through selective breeding and environmental control, as myrcene production is influenced by both genetics and cultivation conditions. Lineage records frequently report myrcene suppression in certain Sativa-leaning and Haze-family descendants. The classification is valued in breeding programs exploring terpene diversity and chemotype variation within cannabis genetics.

Breeders targeting myrcene suppression use it to expand the aromatic and chemical profile library available within breeding populations. This trait enables development of cultivars with altered sensory profiles and novel terpene ratios for specialized research and commercial lines.
