polyphenols

5 articles

Polyphenols are a structurally diverse family of naturally occurring organic compounds abundant in plants, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins. These compounds play critical roles in plant defense mechanisms, pigmentation, and responses to environmental stress. Understanding polyphenols is essential for plant biology research, as they directly influence plant physiology, ecological adaptation, and interactions with herbivores and pathogens.
