Introduction to plant biochemistry. Photosynthesis and its connection to other biochemical processes of plants. Derivatives of carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids (slimes, proteins, lipids en bloc). Alkaloids, basic structural division, alkaloids derived from ornithine and lysine, phenylethylamines, isoquinoline alkaloids en bloc, plant alkaloids of the Amaryllidaceae family. Alkaloids from tryptophan, histidine, and terpene metabolism, steroid alkaloids, alkaloids of various unclassified structures, and purine bases. Isoprenoids. Triterpenes and steroids en bloc - aglycones and glycosides. Other steroids - ecdysteroids, guggulsterones, pregnane derivatives, 3-ketosteroids, withanolides, phytosterols. Other triterpenes - cucurbitacins, cycloartenol derivatives, boswellic acids, limonoids, quassinoids. Metabolites of the shikimate and polyketide pathways.
