Flavonoids as Antioxidants and Developmental Regulators: Relative Significance in Plants and Humans

Flavonoids as Antioxidants and Developmental Regulators: Relative Significance in Plants and Humans

Phenylpropanoids, particularly flavonoids have been recently suggested as playing primary antioxidant functions in the responses of plants to a wide range of abiotic stresses. Furthermore, flavonoids are effective endogenous regulators of auxin movement, thus behaving as developmental regulators. Fl...
