Abstract
Distribution of phytoecdysteroids is analyzed in the family Caryophyllaceae, which includes a large number of ecdysteroid-containing species. Species of this family synthesize a wide variety of steroid compounds, insect molting and metamorphosis hormones, many of which are not found in other plants. Most of the species of Caryophyllaceae are characterized by high levels of phytoecdysteroids. The flowers of the perennial Silene frivaldszkyana accumulate up to 7% 20-hydroxyecdysone.
