Cbda Synthase Dominance
CBDA synthase dominance refers to genetic expression patterns where cannabidiolic acid synthase (CBDA synthase) is the primary cannabinoid synthase enzyme active in a plant's flower tissue. Plants exhibiting this trait typically develop high CBDA concentrations relative to THCA, regardless of ambient conditions or harvest timing. This enzymatic dominance is controlled by a single genetic locus that determines which synthase—CBDA or THCA synthase—becomes the dominant pathway. Breeders classify strains along this spectrum to predict cannabinoid profiles before cultivation. Understanding synthase dominance is fundamental to breeding programs targeting specific cannabinoid ratios and chemotypes.

Breeders use CBDA synthase dominance as a primary selection criterion when developing high-CBD or balanced CBD:THC lines. Stable homozygous CBDA-dominant plants serve as reliable parental material for consistent cannabinoid expression across generations, reducing phenotypic variation in target cannabinoid ratios.
