High Myrcene Chemotypes
High myrcene chemotypes are cannabis cultivars where myrcene comprises a significant proportion of the terpene profile, often exceeding 30-50% of total monoterpenes. Myrcene is a sesquiterpene commonly found in hops, mango, and lemongrass, contributing earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic notes. Lineage records frequently report myrcene-dominant expression across Indica-leaning and hybrid families, though environmental factors including temperature, light cycle, and harvest timing substantially influence final terpene ratios. Breeders working in this category often select parent plants showing consistent myrcene accumulation to stabilize the trait across generations. Understanding myrcene expression remains important for genetic preservation and phenotype documentation in breeding programs.

Breeders prioritize high-myrcene parents when developing cultivars intended for specific aromatic profiles or when crossing lines where myrcene stability is a documented trait. Selections within this chemotype family help establish reproducible terpene markers for lineage tracking and pheno-hunting across seed populations.
