This volume contains the invited papers presented as a symposium of
The Phytochemical Society of North America which met for its annual
meeting at the Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove,
California on June 12-16, 1985. The topic of the symposium, "The
Shikimic Acid Pathway - Recent Advances," was especially
appropriate for this, the Silver Anniversary of the Society because
of the many natural products derived from that pathway. The
organizers of the symposium recognized that it would not be
possible to cover all groups of compounds derived from shikimic
acid and therefore decided to omit any detailed discussion of
flavonoid compounds and lignin. Research in these two areas has
been the subject of several recent symposiums and/or published
volumes. By omitting these topics, it was possible to devote more
attention to other, equally interesting products derived from the
shikimate pathway. Each chapter in the volume authoritat vely
speaks for itself on an important topic. However, the reader is
invited to enjoy the lead chapter by Ulrich Weiss who describes his
role in the research on the shikimate pathway during 1952/53. We
are grateful to Dr. Weiss for this charming account of his work
carried out in the laboratory of Dr. B. D. Davis during that
period. Those who attended the Silver Anniversary Meeting were
privileged to hear Dr. Gestur Johnson reminisce about the founding
of the Society, initially called the Plant Phenolics Group of North
America. At the annual banquet R. Horwitz also shared with us some
recollections of Dr.
