TLDR
GA12-aldehyde obtained from mevalonate via ent-kaurene, ent-kasurenol,Ent-kaurenol and ent-7α-hydroxykaurenoic acid in a cell-free system from immature seeds of Cucurbita maxima was converted to GA12 by the same system.

A century of gibberellin research

TL;DR: The proposal that gibberellins act in plants by removing growth limitation was confirmed by the demonstration that they induce the degradation of the growth-inhibiting DELLA proteins.

Inhibition of gibberellin biosynthesis by paclobutrazol in cell-free homogenates of Cucurbita maxima endosperm and Malus pumila embryos

TL;DR: The plant growth retardant paclobutrazol inhibits specifically the three steps in the oxidation of the gibberellin-precursorent-kaurene toent-kasurenoic acid in a cell-free system fromCucurbita maxima endosperm.

Gibberellin biosynthesis in fungi: genes, enzymes, evolution, and impact on biotechnology

TL;DR: This review concentrates mainly on the fungal biosynthetic pathway, the genes and enzymes involved, the regulation network, the biotechnological relevance of recent studies, and on evolutionary aspects of GA biosynthesis genes.

Plant hormones—VIII

TL;DR: In this article, a line diagram of GC-MS low-resolution mass spectra for the methyl esters of gibberellins A1 to A24 and for trimethylsilyl ethers of the hydroxylated gibberenins A 1 to A8, A10, A13, A14, and A16 to A23 is presented.

Biosynthesis of kaurene, squalene and phytoene from mevalonate-2-14C in a cell-free system from pea fruits

TL;DR: Only kaurene synthesis was inhibited by the plant growth inhibitor AMO 1618, and a mixed plastid and mitochondrial fraction greatly increased the formation of squalene, farnesol and geranylgeraniol but not theformation of phytoene and Kaurene.

Biosynthesis of (—)-Kaurene in Cell-free Extracts of Immature Pea Seeds

TL;DR: Mevalonate-(14)C was incorporated into (-)-kaurene-( 14)C in cell-free extracts of immature pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds and synthesis of (-)-kasurene was readily inhibited by Amo-1618.
