Minor Cannabinoid Pathways
Minor cannabinoid pathways describe the biochemical routes through which cannabis plants produce compounds beyond THC and CBD—including CBG, CBC, CBN, and CBDV. These pathways are determined by plant genetics, enzyme expression, and breeding selection. Understanding minor cannabinoid synthesis is foundational to modern cultivar development, as breeders increasingly isolate and stabilize strains expressing elevated levels of specific minor cannabinoids. The biosynthetic machinery driving these pathways remains an active area of horticultural and genetic research, with lineage records frequently documenting shift in minor cannabinoid ratios across generations.

Breeders working with minor cannabinoid-focused genetics employ selective crossing and backcrossing to enhance or stabilize particular enzymatic pathways. Phenotypic screening and genetic marker selection help identify parent plants with desired minor cannabinoid expression profiles before reproduction.
