Research Project:
Synthesis of Plant Elicitors and Related Natural Products
Location:
Chemistry Research Unit
Project Number: 6615-22430-001-04
Project Type:
Specific C/A
Start Date: Dec 01, 2001
End Date: Nov 30, 2004
Objective:
The objective of this cooperative research project is to synthesize biologically active organic compounds and evaluate their activity as elicitors of plant volatiles and/or as mediators of plant-insect interactions.
Approach:
Organic compounds isolated from insects or other sources and identified as having biological activity as plant volatile elicitors or in mediating plant-insect interactions will be synthesized and the synthetic compounds will be tested in biological assays to determine their activity and compare their biological activity to naturally produced compounds.
