They stimulate production of alpha-amylase in aleurone cells and they are used in the production of Thomson Seedless Grapes.
One pathway for the production of these compounds contains the intermediates methyl erythritol phosphate, which is upstream of ent-Kaurene. Placobutrazol and ancymidol both work by inhibiting these compounds, which operate by triggering the degradation of the DELLA repressors. They stimulate production of alpha-amylase in aleurone cells and they are used in the production of Thomson Seedless Grapes. All of them are diterpenes, and the first one was identified by Eiichi Kurosawa after studying bakanae, a condition that causes foolish seedling disease in rice. For 10 points, name this class of plant hormones that stimulates stem elongation.
