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 are specialized metabolites largely widespread in plants where they play
numerous roles including defense and signaling under stress conditions. These compounds …

Phytochemicals, such as phenolic compounds, are of great interest due to their health-
benefitting antioxidant properties and possible protection against inflammation …

Flavonoids are the low molecular weight polyphenolic secondary metabolic compounds,
and have various functions in growth, development, reproduction, and stress defense …

Background Drought stress is the major environmental stress that affects plant growth and
productivity. It triggers a wide range of responses detectable at molecular, biochemical and …

Background New roles for flavonoids, as developmental regulators and/or signalling
molecules, have recently been proposed in eukaryotic cells exposed to a wide range of …

Salinity is a major abiotic factor affecting plant growth and secondary metabolism. However,
no information is available about its effects on Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq., a traditional …

Flavonoids make a relevant contribution to the response mechanisms of higher plants to a
plethora of abiotic stresses. In addition to the long-reported functions as screeners of …

Flavonoids have recently been suggested to have the potential to serve as antioxidants
other than effective UV attenuators in photoprotection. Here, we tested the hypothesis that …

The effect of salinity stress on the nutritional quality of buckwheat sprouts cultivated for 1, 3,
5, and 7d was investigated by analysis of the antioxidant activity and levels of phenolic …
