Myrcene Lineage
The Myrcene Lineage encompasses cannabis cultivars selected or bred for elevated myrcene terpene expression. Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in many cannabis chemotypes and is commonly associated with herbal, earthy, and clove-like aromatic profiles. Plants in this lineage family often derive from landrace or heritage genetics where myrcene naturally accumulated as a primary volatile component. Breeders working in this category typically stabilize myrcene-dominant phenotypes through selective crossing and backcrossing programs. Understanding myrcene lineage helps geneticists predict aromatic outcomes and terpene ratios in hybrid crosses.

Myrcene-forward genetics serve as foundational germplasm for breeders seeking to enhance earthy, woody, or spice-forward aroma profiles in new cultivars. Consistent myrcene expression across generations makes these lineages valuable for terpene-stacking experiments and for developing cultivars with predictable volatile profiles.
