Myrcene Dominant Lines
Myrcene-dominant lines represent cannabis cultivars where myrcene comprises a substantial portion of the terpene profile, often 20–65% of total terpenes. This monoterpene is commonly associated with herbal, earthy, and clove-like aromatic notes. Lineage records frequently report myrcene prevalence in indica-type cultivars and many landrace accessions, though the trait appears across diverse genetic backgrounds. Breeders working in this category often trace myrcene dominance to foundational strains like Skunk #1, Hindu Kush, and various Afghan hash-plant lines. Understanding myrcene-dominant genetics remains relevant to breeding programs focused on aroma stability and terpene expression consistency.

Breeders select for myrcene-dominant lines to establish predictable aromatic profiles and to study how myrcene interacts with other cannabinoids and terpenes during cultivation and storage. Myrcene's volatility and boiling point (~167°C) make it a useful marker for assessing post-harvest preservation and environmental stress responses in breeding trials.
