Research Project:
Synthesis of Plant Elicitors and Related Natural Products
Location: Chemistry Research Unit
Project Number: 6615-22430-002-05
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jun 02, 2005
End Date: Sep 30, 2009
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:
Organize compounds isolated from insects or other sources and identified as having biological activity as plant volatile elicitors or in mediating insect behavior 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.
