Myrcene Production
Myrcene is a monoterpene commonly found in cannabis, hops, and mangoes, often comprising 20–65% of a strain's terpene profile. In cannabis breeding contexts, myrcene production is typically associated with earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatic characteristics. Lineage records frequently report elevated myrcene in cannabis varieties descended from landrace populations and modern cultivars bred for bulk terpene yield. Breeders working with myrcene-dominant strains often document correlations between high myrcene expression and specific phenotypic traits, though individual plant variation remains substantial across generations.

Breeders working with myrcene-dominant strains often document correlations between high myrcene expression and specific phenotypic traits, though individual plant variation remains substantial across generations.
Cannabis breeders select for myrcene production through phenotype screening and terpene testing to establish stable cultivar profiles. Myrcene-rich genetics serve as parental material for developing strains with consistent aroma signatures and for studying how environmental conditions influence monoterpene biosynthesis.
