Myrcene Expression
Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis, often comprising 20–65% of total terpene profiles in modern cultivars. This monoterpene is also found in hops, mangoes, and lemongrass, contributing to earthy, herbal, and fruity aromatic notes. Lineage records frequently report higher myrcene expression in indica-dominant and landrace genetics, particularly those originating from tropical and subtropical regions. Myrcene expression varies significantly between individual plants and can shift during drying and curing. Breeders monitor myrcene levels as a marker of terpene stability and as one component of broader aromatic fingerprinting in strain development.

Cultivators and breeders working in terpene-focused programs track myrcene expression to predict aromatic profiles and maintain consistency across generations. High myrcene phenotypes are often selected for stability in clone libraries and seed breeding projects.
