Cbg Synthase Dominance
CBG synthase dominance refers to cannabis plants expressing elevated cannabigerol (CBG) biosynthesis relative to other cannabinoid pathways. This trait occurs when the CBG synthase enzyme remains highly active rather than being rapidly converted downstream into THCA or CBDA synthase products. Plants with CBG synthase dominance typically accumulate cannabigerol as a primary cannabinoid rather than a minor trace compound. This phenotype is comparatively rare in commercial cultivation and appears influenced by both genetic background and enzymatic regulation. Lineage records indicate this trait clusters within certain landrace populations and selective breeding programs targeting non-intoxicating cannabinoid profiles.

Breeders working in the CBG-dominant space select for plants that maintain active CBG synthase expression while minimizing downstream conversion to THC or CBD precursors. Stabilizing this trait requires multi-generational selection and careful phenotyping, as CBG synthase dominance can be recessive or polygenic depending on parental genetics.
