In this article, I review the applications of phytoecdysteroids and assess their future potential. Laura (or Laurie, as she was known to her family) was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on June 8, 1947, daughter of the late Karl. Hobbs, Jr., died July 24, 2017, at Manchester Memorial Hospital. Further, ecdysteroids are good candidates as elicitors for gene-switch systems to be used in medical gene therapy and research applications. Hartford Courant, The (CT) - Wednesday, JLaura Lee (Karlson) Hobbs, 70, of Coventry, beloved wife of Philip N. Ecdysteroids are also being considered as nutraceutical additives to food products. In particular, this has led to a large (and unregulated) market for ecdysteroid-containing preparations for body-builders, sportsmen, and pets, among others. Laurie Karlson is an Owner at Lauriebelles based in Tea, South Dakota. Laurie was drafted by Fremantle with their fifth selection. They are apparently non-toxic to mammals and a wide range of beneficial pharmacological (adaptogenic, anabolic, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, immunoprotective, wound-healing, and perhaps even anti-tumour) activities is claimed for them. Parris Laurie (born 9 December 1994) is a retired Australian rules footballer who played for Fremantle and West Coast in the AFL Womens (AFLW).

However, it is other properties of phytoecdysteroids that have led to a rapid recent increase in scientific and commercial interest in these molecules.


There is potential to exploit this to develop new strategies for pest control, either by using ecdysteroids as lead molecules for the design of novel pest control agents or by alteration of ecdysteroid levels/profiles in crop plants through plant breeding or genetic modification. Phytoecdysteroids are analogues of arthropod steroid hormones found in plants, where they deter predation by non-adapted predators.
