Myrcene Limonene Pairing
The myrcene-limonene pairing represents a common terpene combination in cannabis breeding where beta-myrcene and d-limonene co-occur in notable ratios. Myrcene, typically the most abundant monoterpene in cannabis, is often accompanied by limonene in many modern cultivars, creating layered aromatic profiles. Lineage records frequently report this pairing in Sativa-leaning and hybrid families, particularly those with citrus or herbal-pine descriptors. Breeders working in this category often select parents showing both compounds to stabilize complementary sensory profiles. This combination reflects both historical landrace chemistry and contemporary hybrid development focusing on terpene expression.
