We review the current status of knowledge on phytoecdysteroids, with particular emphasis on their occurrence, diversity, functions, biosynthesis and biotechnological production. We also consider evolutionary aspects with regard to their probable role in the deterrence of phytophagous invertebrates and in respect to their relationship to other classes of phytosteroids.
