, 2009 Phytoecdysteroids, polyhydroxylated ketosteroids, are the plant analogues of insect growth hormones. Although their role in insect molting is well characterized, their function in plants is less clear. Lacking the properties of classic plant hormones, phytoecdysteroids may be involved in plant growth and defense.
