In germinating cereal seeds, the gibberellan GA 1 activates genes that

Gibberellins, such as GA 1 , play a crucial role in the germination process of cereal seeds by promoting the synthesis of enzymes that convert stored starch into sugar. This sugar is then used as an energy source for the growing seedling.
