Stress-responsive dihydroxy B-ring-substituted flavonoids have great potential to inhibit the
generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce the levels of ROS once they are …

Flavonoids occur widely in plants and are a biologically major and chemically diverse group
of secondary metabolites that can be divided into subgroups including anthocyanidins …

Tannins are the most abundant secondary metabolites made by plants, commonly ranging
from 5% to 10% dry weight of tree leaves. Tannins can defend leaves against insect …

Flavonoids have long been recognized as playing multiple roles in the responses of higher
plants to a wide range of environmental constraints (Winkel-Shirley, 2002; Roberts & Paul …

Trophic cascades—the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predators—are an essential
aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically …

Berries are rich in phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonols and anthocyanins.
These molecules are often reported as being responsible for the health effects attributed to …

The roles of flavonoids in plant defence against pathogens, herbivores, and environmental
stress are reviewed and their significant contribution to plant resistance is discussed. The …

We discuss on the relative significance of different functional roles potentially served by
flavonoids in photoprotection, with special emphasis to their ability to scavenge reactive …

Tannins make up a significant portion of forest carbon pools and foliage and bark may
contain up to 40% tannin. Like many other plant secondary compounds, tannins were …

Phenylpropanoids, particularly flavonoids have been recently suggested as playing primary
antioxidant functions in the responses of plants to a wide range of abiotic stresses …
