Research Abstract |
Olive trees (Olea europaea) biosynthesize a phenolic secoiridoid glycoside, Oleuropein, which is thought as a chemical defense compound against herbivores. To investigate chemical defense system through iridoid compounds in olive, we analyzed iridoid-amino acid compounds biosynthesized by herbivores in olive. We determined the chemical structure of iridoid-amino acid compounds and beta-glucosidase (beta-GH) is an essential trigger for biosynthesis of iridoid-amino acid compounds.
