# INSECT AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS

> **NIH NIH R01** · COLUMBIA UNIV NEW YORK MORNINGSIDE · 1989 · $301,008

## Abstract

Dramatic advances are being made in the techniques available for isolation
and structural studies of natural products.  This has made it feasible to
investigate the structures, mode of action, receptor sites, membrane
transport, etc. of compounds which exist in minute quantities but which
nevertheless exert pronounced effects on animal and plant life.  Many such
problems lie in the borderline area between the various scientific
disciplines.  The approach is to select challenging problems in the
biosciences and elucidate them on a chemical structural base, collaborating
with scientists in other fields, whenever necessary.  The projects to be
studied include insect growth regulators, crustacean hormone, marine
respiratory pigments, marine neurotoxins, etc.
