Myrcene Terpene Lineages
Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in cannabis and appears across diverse strain lineages. Strains high in myrcene are commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic profiles. Lineage records frequently report myrcene dominance in indicas and hybrid crosses, though it appears across the spectrum. The terpene's prevalence suggests historical selection pressure during breeding programs, making myrcene-forward genetics widely available in seed collections. Understanding myrcene's distribution helps breeders contextualize aroma profiles within established family trees. This terpene remains a reference point for cataloging chemotype variation in cannabis genetics.
