Myrcene Dominant Classes
Myrcene-dominant strains represent a broad category within cannabis breeding characterized by elevated myrcene concentrations relative to other terpenes. Myrcene, a monoterpene commonly found in hops, lemongrass, and mangoes, frequently comprises 40–70% of total terpene profiles in classified myrcene-dominant cultivars. Breeders distinguish myrcene-heavy genetics as a foundational classification because this terpene influences aromatic character, volatility profiles, and extraction outcomes. Lineage records frequently report myrcene dominance in indica-type ancestry and certain landrace-derived lines. This terpene class serves as a reference point for genetic stability studies and crosses targeting specific aromatic targets.

Myrcene-dominant traits are valued in breeding programs for their stability across generations and consistent volatile profiles. Growers and processors working in this category often select parent plants with measurable myrcene prevalence to maintain predictable terpene expression in filial generations.
