Ent-kaurene is primarily used in the biosynthesis of gibberellins, a group of plant hormones that regulate growth and development. It serves as a key intermediate in the pathway that leads to the production of these hormones, which are crucial for processes such as seed germination, stem elongation, and flowering. In agricultural applications, understanding and manipulating ent-kaurene metabolism can help improve crop yields and enhance plant resilience to environmental stress. Additionally, research on ent-kaurene contributes to the development of growth regulators and herbicides that target specific pathways in plant physiology, offering potential for more efficient and sustainable farming practices.
