Myrcene Dominant Chemotype
Myrcene-dominant chemotypes represent cannabis plants where myrcene comprises a significant portion of the terpene profile, often 50% or more of total terpene content. This monoterpene is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and musky aromatic notes, though individual plant expression varies considerably. Myrcene prevalence has been documented across diverse genetic backgrounds, from Indica-associated landraces to modern hybrid cultivars. Breeders working in this category often select parent plants with consistent myrcene production to stabilize this terpene expression across generations. The trait's appearance in both indica and sativa lineages suggests multiple genetic pathways contribute to myrcene accumulation.

Plant breeders frequently use myrcene-dominant parents to establish stable terpene profiles in target crosses. Myrcene's prevalence in widely cultivated genetics makes it a reliable anchor trait for predictable aroma development in breeding programs.
