Myrcene Phenotype
Myrcene phenotype describes cannabis plants expressing elevated myrcene terpene concentrations, commonly exceeding 0.5% of total terpene profiles. This classification emerged from selective breeding programs targeting specific aromatic signatures often associated with earthy, herbal, and fruity notes. Myrcene-dominant strains frequently trace lineage to Indica-leaning parents, though phenotypic expression varies significantly across environmental conditions and cultivation practices. Breeders working in this category typically employ progeny testing and chromatographic analysis to stabilize myrcene-forward profiles across generations. The trait's expression is influenced by genetics, growing temperature, harvest timing, and post-harvest handling—requiring controlled documentation for breeding consistency.

Breeders select for myrcene phenotypes to establish strain identity markers and achieve target aromatic profiles for commercial lineups. Stabilizing this trait often involves backcrossing and pheno-hunting across multiple generations, with gas chromatography or HPLC used to verify terpene concentrations in breeding stock.
