Abstract

The cyclization of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate followed by ionization, proton elimination or cation center migration produces dicyclic, tricyclic and tetracyclic diterpenoids. The role of some of diterpenoids in animals is well known but their precise functions in plants remain to be explained.
