Procedures were developed for assaying the biosynthesis of (-)-
kaurene-¹⁴C and other intermediates in gibberellin (GA) synthesis
from mevalonic acid-¹⁴C in cell-free enzyme extracts of immature
pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) seeds. This system was utilized
to investigate three aspects of GA biosynthesis: (1) apparent capacities
for (-)-kaurene biosynthesis...
