Myrcene Terpene Class
Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes found across cannabis genetics, frequently comprising 20–65% of a plant's total terpene profile. This monoterpene is also present in hops, mangoes, and lemongrass, contributing earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic signatures. Lineage records commonly report myrcene-dominant strains emerging from both landrace and modern breeding work, particularly in Indica-leaning cultivars. The terpene's prevalence in cannabis breeding stocks makes it a baseline reference point in aromatic classification. Breeders studying myrcene-class genetics often note its stability across generations and its interaction with other volatile compounds in the plant.

Breeders working in myrcene-dominant categories frequently select parent plants based on myrcene concentration to establish predictable aromatic families. High-myrcene genetics serve as foundation stock for creating consistent flavor and aroma profiles across seed lines.
