Novel genotypes often arise during biological invasions, but their role in invasion success has rarely been elucidated. Here we examined the population genetics and behavior of the fungus, Leptographium procerum, vectored by a highly invasive bark beetle, Dendroctonus valens, to

A novel carene-based alanine-equivalent tricyclic iminolactone 16 has been synthesized via stereoselective dihydroxylation of the double bond, IBX oxidation of the secondary alcohol, esterification of the tertiary alcohol, deprotection of the resulting ester, and subsequent cyclization from commercially available (1S)-(+)-3-carene

Conifers are extremely long-lived plants that have evolved complex chemical defenses in the form of oleoresin terpenoids to resist attack from pathogens and herbivores. In these species, terpenoid diversity is determined by the size and composition of the terpene synthase
