Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids as antioxidants in plants: Location and functional significance
TL;DR: The genes that govern the biosynthesis of antioxidant flavonoids are present in liverworts and mosses and are mostly up-regulated as a consequence of severe stress, which suggests that the antioxidant Flavonoid metabolism is a robust trait of terrestrial plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple functional roles of flavonoids in photoprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional roles of flavonoids in photoprotection: new evidence, lessons from the past.
Giovanni Agati,Cecilia Brunetti,Martina Di Ferdinando,Francesco Ferrini,Susanna Pollastri,Massimiliano Tattini +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that antioxidant flavonoids display the greatest capacity to regulate key steps of cell growth and differentiation in eukaryotes and are of great value in photoprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential accumulation of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamates in leaves of Ligustrum vulgare under excess light and drought stress
Massimiliano Tattini,Carlotta Galardi,Patrizia Pinelli,Rossano Massai,Damiano Remorini,Giovanni Agati +5 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that flavonoids may serve antioxidant functions in response to excess light and drought stress, and that a coordinate control system between hydroxycinnamate and flavonoid pathways operated in L. vulgare exposed to excessLight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optically assessed contents of leaf polyphenolics and chlorophyll as indicators of nitrogen deficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
A. Cartelat,Zoran G. Cerovic,Yves Goulas,Sylvie Meyer,C. Lelarge,J.-L. Prioul,Aude Barbottin,Marie-Hélène Jeuffroy,Philippe Gate,Giovanni Agati,I. Moya +10 more
TL;DR: The use of the simple Chl/Phen ratio as an indicator of leaf N content at the canopy level would alleviate the problem of gradients along leaves, and would even accentuate the differences among levels of crop N deficiencies because of the Chl and Phen inverse dependence on the crop N nutrition status.
