Gibberellin biosynthesis is a primary metabolic pathway that occurs in all higher plants but not, apparently, in other organisms. The main products are gibberillins, functionalized diterpenes which have important hormonal roles in processes from seed germination to stem growth to reproduction. A number of species also produce diterpenes based on the kaurane skeleton from the same biosynthetic pathway.
