Minor Cannabinoids And Compounds
Minor cannabinoids and compounds refer to non-THC, non-CBD constituents present in cannabis plant material, including cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabigerol (CBG), and various terpenes and flavonoids. While these compounds occur in lower concentrations than THC or CBD in most cultivars, breeding programs increasingly isolate and enhance them for research and specialized applications. Lineage records and chemotype screening now routinely document these secondary metabolites alongside major cannabinoids. Understanding the full chemical profile—beyond THC and CBD—has become essential for cannabis genetics classification and breeding strategy.

Breeders working with minor cannabinoid expression employ selective crossing and backcrossing to stabilize desired chemotypes and enhance trace-compound production. Phenotype screening and lab analysis allow cultivators to identify and propagate plants with elevated CBG, CBC, or specific terpene combinations for specialized breeding goals.
