The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Genomic and Chemical Diversity in Cannabis (2015, background): “THCA and CBDA are alternative products of a shared precursor, cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) (Fellermeier et al., 2001).”
Potential of marker-assisted selection in hemp genetic improvement (2004, background): “This peculiarity explains the fact that, when both enzymes are present (i.e. when the genotype at the B locus is BD BT ), the almost equal efficiency of oxidocyclization of CBG into the respective end products, leads to a ratio close to the unity in the THC:CBD ratio.”
Genetics and Marker-assisted Selection of the Chemotype in Cannabis sativa L. (2006, background): “It is today accepted that cannabigerolic acid (CBGA, CBG in the neutral-form notation) is the first cannabinoid to be synthetised by condensation of the terpenic and phenolic moieties, and it is the precursor of the main cannabinoids found in hemp (Fellermeier et al. 2001).”
