These compounds are synthesized by attaching a lactone ring to a tetracyclic ent-kaurene system in the mevalonate pathway. In Arabidopsis, their signaling pathway is regulated by RGA, a DELLA protein. These diterpenoids help hydrolyze starch into glucose by increasing alpha-amylase production in cereal germination, and in cabbages, they can induce bolting, the premature production of flowering stems. Also responsible for seedless grapes, these hormones work with cytokinins to promote cell division in the stem. For 10 points, name these plant hormones that stimulate flowering and stem elongation.
