DE-ETIOLATED2 (DET2) gene, which encodes a brassinosteroid biosynthetic gene. Det2 loss-of-function mutants have reduced levels of brassinosteroids, resulting in a de-etiolated appearance of the seedling even when grown in the dark

Brassinosteroids are also required for promotion of cell

elongation by gibberellins, and gibberellin-induced degradation

of the DELLA repressor enhances the brassinosteroid response.
