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.

OsGSR1, a member of the gibberellic acid–stimulated gene family, acts as a positive regulator of both the gibberellic acid response and brassinosteroid biosynthesis.

ABA is synthesized in almost all cells that contain chloroplasts

or amyloplasts and has been detected in every major organ and tissue. ABA is a 15-carbon terpenoid, or sesquiterpenoid, which is synthesized in plants by an indirect pathway via 40-carbon carotenoid intermediates
