This paper aims at analysing the synthesis of flavonoids, their import and export in plant cell
compartments, as well as their involvement in the response to stress, with particular …

Flavonoids are a biochemically diverse group of specialized metabolites in plants that are
derived from phenylalanine. While the biosynthesis of the flavonoid aglycone is highly …

Fruits and vegetables are rich in flavonoids, and ample epidemiological data show that diets
rich in fruits and vegetables confer protection against cardiovascular, neurodegenerative …

Flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites widely distributed in plants that represent a
huge portion of the soluble phenolics present in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). These …

Secondary metabolites are produced by plants and are classified based on their chemical
structure or the biosynthetic routes through which they are synthesized. Among them …

In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the biosynthetic
pathway and regulation of flavonoids through forward genetic approaches. However, there …

Michelia crassipes is the only plant with purple flowers amongst Michelia species, and its
tepals exhibit an obvious color change from green to purple. In this study, a combination of …

The Malus crabapple is an important woody ornamental plant. The fading of petals during its
development significantly affects their ornamental value. Petal color is related to …

Anthocyanins are among the most common flavonoids in the human diet. In spite of their
very low bioavailability, anthocyanins are indicated as active in preventing the progress of …

Aims Ingestion of flavonoid-rich beverages acutely affects endothelial function, causing
vasodilation. This effect might be dependent on flavonoid transport into the endothelium. We …
