Geranylgeraniol
Geranylgeraniol (GGOH) is a diterpene alcohol found in cannabis and many other plants, including geraniums and pine species. In cannabis breeding contexts, this compound is often studied as part of the broader terpene profile rather than as a primary selection marker. Lineage records and analytical data suggest geranylgeraniol appears in trace amounts in most cannabis samples, though its exact concentrations and genetic heritability remain understudied. Breeders working in terpene-focused cultivation have noted its presence in various chemotype families, but it is rarely targeted as a dominant trait. The compound is structurally related to other diterpenes and serves as a precursor in plant secondary metabolism pathways.

Geranylgeraniol is primarily of interest to breeders studying complete terpene biosynthesis pathways and plant biochemistry rather than as a direct selection criterion. Its role as a metabolic precursor may influence downstream terpene production, making it relevant to researchers mapping cannabinoid and terpene co-expression.
