Myrcene Rich Expression
Myrcene-rich expression refers to cannabis cultivars in which myrcene comprises a notably elevated percentage of the terpene profile, often 20–65% or higher of total terpenes. Myrcene is a monocyclic monoterpene commonly associated with herbal, earthy, and clove-like aromatic notes. Lineage records frequently report myrcene dominance in indica-type cultivars and certain Thai and Indian landrace derivatives. Breeders working in this category often select parent plants exhibiting high myrcene production across generations to stabilize the trait. Understanding myrcene-rich profiles is essential for studying terpene inheritance patterns and predicting aromatic outcomes in breeding programs.

Breeders leverage myrcene-rich cultivars as genetic sources to reliably produce earthiness and spice in hybrid crosses. Selecting for myrcene dominance requires consistent analytical testing and multi-generational phenotype tracking, as terpene expression varies with cultivation conditions and genetic background.
