Enzymatic Dominance Traits
Enzymatic dominance traits refer to the genetic expression patterns controlling terpene synthase and cannabinoid synthase enzyme activity in cannabis plants. These traits influence the metabolic pathways that determine final cannabinoid and terpene profiles, independent of specific strain lineage. Plants exhibiting enzymatic dominance toward certain pathways commonly produce elevated levels of particular secondary metabolites—for instance, high limonene production or pronounced CBDA accumulation. Lineage records frequently report that enzymatic dominance is inherited polygentially, meaning multiple genes regulate these enzymatic activities. Understanding enzymatic dominance helps breeders predict chemical phenotype outcomes and select parent plants for consistent production targets.

Breeders working in this category use enzymatic dominance traits to stabilize desired cannabinoid and terpene ratios across successive generations without relying solely on strain name or visual phenotype. Selecting for enzymatic dominance enables the development of cultivars with predictable chemical profiles and reduced batch-to-batch variability.
