// Definition
A discovery that certain cannabis strains contain a CBD synthase gene that is present in the genome but non-functional, meaning it cannot produce CBD. This genomic finding helps explain why some high-THC strains produce virtually no CBD - they carry a broken copy of the gene rather than simply lacking it.
// From the Episode
Discussed during the terpene synthase genomics segment. Has implications for breeding programs aiming to produce specific cannabinoid profiles.
