Myrcene Terpene Profile

Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis and many plant species globally. It is commonly associated with herbal, earthy, and clove-like aromatic notes. Myrcene often appears as a primary terpene in indica-leaning cultivars and hybrid varieties, though presence and concentration vary widely across genotypes. Lineage records frequently report myrcene dominance in strains descended from Thai, Afghan, and Himalayan landraces. Breeders working in this category monitor myrcene levels as part of aromatic and flavor profiling during selection.

Breeders often select parent plants with stable myrcene expression when seeking to develop cultivars with specific aromatic signatures or to maintain consistency in terpene profiles across generations. Myrcene concentration is tracked alongside other monoterpenes during strain stabilization and seed-line development.
