Cbda Synthase Phenotype
CBDA synthase phenotype refers to cannabis plants that express functional CBDA synthase, the enzyme catalyzing conversion of geranylpyrophosphate and olivetolic acid into cannabidiolic acid (CBDA). Plants exhibiting this phenotype produce predominantly acidic cannabinoids rather than their decarboxylated neutral forms. This phenotype is determined by genetic factors controlling enzyme expression and activity levels. Breeders and researchers identify CBDA synthase phenotypes through cannabinoid profiling, observing elevated CBDA relative to CBD in fresh plant material. Understanding this phenotype is foundational for breeding programs targeting CBD-dominant or CBDA-rich cultivars.

Breeders working with CBDA synthase phenotypes select parent plants demonstrating consistent, high CBDA production to establish stable, CBD-dominant lines. This phenotype serves as a critical genetic marker in breeding protocols aimed at developing cultivars with predictable cannabinoid ratios independent of post-harvest handling.
