Myrcene Profiles
Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes found across cannabis cultivars, often comprising 20–65% of the total terpene profile in certain strains. This monoterpene is also present in hops, mangoes, lemongrass, and thyme, contributing herbal and earthy aromatic signatures. Lineage records frequently report myrcene-dominant profiles in classic indica-associated lineages, though myrcene presence spans both indica and sativa breeding lines. Breeders classify myrcene-rich cultivars as a distinct family based on olfactory markers and chromatographic analysis rather than cannabinoid content. Understanding myrcene profiles is essential for genetic preservation, phenotype selection, and cultivar documentation in breeding programs.

Myrcene-dominant strains are commonly selected for polyhybrid crosses targeting herbal and earthy flavor notes. Breeders working in this category often use myrcene-rich parents as foundational genetics to stabilize specific aromatic and plant-structure traits across generations.
