Myrcene Families
Myrcene families represent cannabis lineages historically selected or naturally abundant in myrcene, a sesquiterpene commonly found across cannabis, hops, and mangoes. Breeders working in this category often prioritize strains where myrcene comprises a significant portion of the terpene profile, typically 20–65% of total terpenes. Myrcene is valued in breeding programs for its role in the plant's aromatic expression and its relationship to other volatile compounds. Lineage records frequently report myrcene-dominant varieties emerging from landrace populations and modern hybrid crosses aimed at terpene stability. Understanding myrcene families helps breeders select parent plants, predict aromatic outcomes, and maintain consistency across generations.

Breeders leverage myrcene families to develop strains with predictable aroma and terpene profiles, as myrcene's presence often correlates with shelf stability and extraction yields. Parent selection within myrcene-dominant lineages allows for reproducible phenotypes across cultivated batches.
