(INSERIRFIG11)Felipe Christoff Wouters is a Bachelor in Chemistry (2010) from the Federal University of Santa Maria and obtained his Master degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Campinas (2011) under the guidance of Prof Anita J. Marsaioli. Currently, he is a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology (Jena, Germany) under the supervision of Prof Jonathan Gershenzon. His research is focused on the metabolism of benzoxazinoids by lepidopteran herbivores, elucidation of detoxification products, and identification of enzymes responsible for insect resistance to these plant defenses.

Jonathan Gershenzon received his PhD in 1984 at the University of Texas at Austin working under the supervision of Tom J. Mabry. After post-doctoral research at the Institute of Biological Chemistry, Washington State University with Rodney Croteau, he joined the Max Planck Institute of Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany, where he is now Director of the Department of Biochemistry. His scientific interests include the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites and their roles in defense against herbivores and pathogens, emphasizing compounds such as glucosinolates, benzoxazinoids and terpenoids.

Daniel Giddings Vassão is a Bachelor in Chemistry (2001) from the University of São Paulo, where he started learning phytochemistry from Prof Massuo J. Kato, and obtained his PhD in Biochemistry from Washington State University (2008) under the guidance of Prof Norman G. Lewis. He then joined Prof Jonathan Gershenzon's Department of Biochemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, where he currently leads a research group focused on the chemistry of plant-herbivore interactions. His major research interests are in determining how insects biochemically process/detoxify phytochemicals, and in understanding the mechanisms mediating the toxicity of plant chemical defenses.
