The cover picture shows the dried calyx of Ipomoea tuberosa L. ( Merremia tuberosa ) which gives this plant its descriptive common name “woodrose”. One of its bioactive metabolites is the resin glycoside “woodrosin I” shown in the inset, the first total synthesis of which is summarized as part of the Microreview by A. Fürstner on the chemistry and biology of complex glycolipids on p. 943 ff.
