报告题目：Terpenoid biosynthesis and its role in the communication of plants 

Bouwmeester教授长期从事植物萜类物质的生物合成研究，共发表论文200多篇，其中以通讯作者在Science, Nature, Nature Chemical Biology, PNAS, Nature Commnunication, 以及Plant Physiology等杂志发表科研论文多篇。Bouwmeester教授的个人简介如下：

Harro Bouwmeester graduated from Wageningen University, the Netherlands in 1990 and worked there as post-doc and scientist in several research institutes and from 2008 as Chair of Plant Physiology at Wageningen University. Since 1 October 2016 he is Chair of Plant Hormone Biology at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) of the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The work in his group is centered around the elucidation of the biosynthesis of terpenoids and strigolactones in plants and their role in plant-environment interaction. In this work a number of different expertises are integrated, such as analytical chemistry, plant physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and biology to study the importance of plant metabolites in the interaction of plants with parasitic plants, micro-organisms and insects. With regard to parasitic plants his main interests are the structural diversity in the strigolactones and the importance of this structural diversity in biological specificity, such as parasitic plant host specificty. The research in the Bouwmeester lab has resulted in many publications in international peer-reviewed journals and an international position and extensive network in the field of terpenoid biosynthesis and strigolactones. At the end of 2005, he was awarded a Vici-grant of 1.2 M€ for his work on underground chemical communication of plants with parasitic plants and arbsucular mycorrhizal fungi and in 2015 an ERC Advanced grant of 2.5 M€ on the evolution of chemical communication in the rhizosphere of plants.
