Cbd Synthase Phenotype
CBD Synthase Phenotype refers to cannabis plants expressing the CBDAS enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) to CBD. This phenotype is genetically distinct from THC-dominant plants and is determined by allelic variation at the cannabinoid synthase locus. Plants expressing this phenotype commonly accumulate CBD as their primary cannabinoid rather than THC, though ratios vary by cultivar and environmental conditions. CBD Synthase Phenotype plants have become central to breeding programs targeting high-CBD, low-THC cultivars for research and industrial applications. Identification typically requires cannabinoid testing or molecular markers targeting CBDAS gene expression.

Breeders working in high-CBD development use CBDAS phenotype selection as a foundational trait in stabilizing 1:1 and CBD-dominant ratios. Marker-assisted selection targeting cannabinoid synthase alleles accelerates the fixation of this phenotype in breeding populations.
