9321977 Stermitz The focus of this research will be the study of the biosynthesis of 2,6-disubstituted piperidine alkaloids in Ponderosa pine and Colorado blue spruce. Further, the bioactivity testing of the alkaloids should define the importance of these compounds in plant/herbivore interactions. Research on plant/insect interactions center on the study of iridoid glycosides from Scrophulariaceae and the specialist lepodoptera whose larva feed on the plants. It is anticipated that free-flying butterflies can be used to help identify larval food plants. %%% With this renewal award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Frank R. Stermitz of the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University. Professor Stermitz will focus his work on the isolation, stucture, biosynthesis and ecological role piperidine alkaloids in conifer species and in the isolation and structural characterization of iridoid glycosides and the importance of these compounds in plant/insect interactions. ***

9321977 Stermitz本研究的重点将是研究黄松和科罗拉多蓝云杉中2，6-二取代哌啶生物碱的生物合成。 此外，生物碱的生物活性测试应确定这些化合物在植物/食草动物相互作用中的重要性。 植物/昆虫相互作用的研究主要集中在玄参科和鳞翅目昆虫的环烯醚萜苷的研究上，鳞翅目昆虫的幼虫以植物为食。 预计自由飞翔的蝴蝶可用于帮助识别幼虫食用植物。 有了这个更新的奖项，合成有机计划是支持博士弗兰克R。科罗拉多州立大学化学系的Stermitz说。Stermitz教授将专注于针叶树物种中哌啶生物碱的分离，结构，生物合成和生态作用，以及环烯醚萜苷的分离和结构表征以及这些化合物在植物/昆虫相互作用中的重要性。 ***
