Myrcene Dominant Class
The Myrcene Dominant Class refers to cannabis cultivars where myrcene is the primary terpene by concentration. Myrcene is a monoterpene commonly found across cannabis, hops, and mangoes, and is frequently associated with earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic profiles. Lineage records show myrcene-dominant strains often trace to indica-leaning ancestry, though the trait appears across both photoperiod and autoflowering varieties. Breeders working in this category have historically selected for high myrcene expression as a stability marker and aromatic anchor in polyhybrid crosses. Understanding myrcene dominance is useful for breeding programs focused on predictable terpene profiles and aromatic consistency across generations.

Myrcene-dominant plants are valued in breeding for their aromatic stability and their role as terpene modulators in crosses. High myrcene expression often correlates with plant vigor and is used as a phenotypic marker when selecting parents for consistent offspring profiles.
