flavonoids

2 articles

Flavonoids are a class of polyphenolic secondary metabolites produced by plants that serve a wide range of biological roles. In plant science, they are of particular interest for their functions in attracting pollinators, providing antioxidant defense against UV radiation, protecting against pathogens and environmental stressors, and regulating cell growth. Understanding flavonoid biosynthesis and accumulation helps researchers unlock the mechanisms behind plant resilience, reproduction, and adaptation.
