Myrcene Dominance
Myrcene dominance describes cannabis cultivars where myrcene is the primary terpene by concentration. This monoterpene is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic profiles. Lineage records frequently report myrcene-dominant expressions in many Indica-leaning and hybrid backgrounds, particularly those derived from landrace material or Skunk and Hash Plant ancestry. The prevalence of myrcene in a cultivar's terpene profile is influenced by genetic factors, growing conditions, harvest timing, and post-harvest handling. Breeders studying this trait often examine parental contributions to understand myrcene inheritance patterns across generations.

Breeders working with myrcene dominance prioritize it as a genetic marker for stability and expression in breeding programs. Selection for consistent myrcene profiles across multiple generations helps establish predictable chemotypes in new cultivar development.
