Taxodone
Taxodone is a naturally occurring diterpenoid found in ''Taxodium distichum'' (bald cypress), ''Rosmarinus officinalis'' (rosemary), several salvia species and other plants, along with its oxidized rearrangement product, taxodione. Taxodone and taxodione exhibit anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, insecticide, and antifeedant activities. Discovery Taxodone was first isolated in 1968 from the seeds of ''Taxodium distichum'' (Bald Cypress) by S. Morris Kupchan and coworkers. They reported the structure determination and basic chemistry of taxodone and its oxidized rearrangement product, taxodione. Taxodone occurs naturally in the form of (+)-taxodone. Occurrence Taxodone and/or taxodione have been identified in several plants besides ''Taxodium distichum'' including: ''Rosmarinus officinalis'' (Rosemary), ''Salvia barrelieri'', ''Metasequoia glyptostroboides'' (Dawn Redwood), ''Salvia munzii'' (San Diego Sage), '' Salvia moorcroftiana'', '' Salvia staminea'', ''Sa ...

Antifeedant
Antifeedants are organic compounds produced by plants to inhibit attack by insects and grazing animals. These chemical compounds are typically classified as secondary metabolites in that they are not essential for the metabolism of the plant, but instead confer longevity. Antifeedants exhibit a wide range of activities and chemical structures as biopesticides. Examples include rosin, which inhibits attack on trees, and many alkaloids, which are highly toxic to specific insect species. History "Plant-derived insecticides (e.g., rotenone, veratridines, pyrethrins, and nicotine) have been used for insect control since antiquity." The active ingredients in these plants have been purified and modified. For example, variations on pyrethrin has spawned a large number of synthetic insecticides call pyrethroids. Culinary implications In addition to their role defending the plant, antifeedants often confer taste or odors, enhancing the flavor of certain plants. Examples are provided ...

Metasequoia Glyptostroboides
''Metasequoia glyptostroboides'', the dawn redwood, is a fast-growing, endangered deciduous conifer. It is the sole living species of the genus ''Metasequoia'', one of three genera in the subfamily Sequoioideae of the family Cupressaceae.

In 1941, the genus ''Metasequoia'' was reported by paleobotanist Shigeru Miki as a widely distributed extinct genus based on fossils, before attracting considerable attention a few years later when small populations were found alive in central China. It is a particularly well-known example of a living fossil species.
