Feeding deterrency of flavonoids and related phenolics towards Schizaphis graminum and Myzus persicae: Aphid feeding deterrents in wheat
David L. Dreyer,Kenneth C. Jones +1 more
TLDR
Most flavonoids, including a number of dihydrochalcones related to phloretin, showed strong deterrency at concentrations well within the range often found in plants, and flavanone and flavone glycosides showed weak feeding deterrency relative to their corresponding aglycones.Citations

The role of carbon-based plant secondary metabolites in decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that the decreased control by lignin over annual decomposition rates of surface litter is due to a significant periodic or seasonal influence of other carbon-based plant secondary metabolites over rates in the initial phase of decomposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavones: From Biosynthesis to Health Benefits
TL;DR: An appraisal of flavone formation in plants is appraised, emphasizing the emerging theme that biosynthesis pathway determines flavone chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect-induced effects on plants and possible effectors used by galling and leaf-mining insects to manipulate their host-plant
TL;DR: Key plant functions targeted by various plant reprogrammers, including plant-manipulating insects and nematodes, are reviewed, and insect herbivore-derived effectors are functionally characterized to provide a broader understanding of possible mechanisms used in host-plant manipulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoid function and activity to plants and other organisms.
TL;DR: In this article, the function and activity of flavonoids against plants and other organisms are reviewed, including pollinator attractants, oviposition stimulants, feeding attractants and deterrents, allelopathy and phytoalexins.

Flavonoids as larval growth inhibitors. Structural factors governing toxicity.
TL;DR: Up to now only a relatively small number of structural variants among the flavonoids has been examined by insect bioassay, and an interpretation of these structural features has not been forthcoming.

Effects of sinigrin on host selection by aphids
Lowell R. Nault,W. E. Styer +1 more
TL;DR: The feeding response of six aphid species to sinigrin, a mustard oil glucoside, was investigated and Hyadaphis = (Lipaphis) erysimi and Brevicoryne brassicae, whose host ranges are restricted primarily to the Cruciferae, were stimulated to feed on Sinigrin treated non‐host leaves.

Resistance in Barley to the Greenbug, Schizaphis graminum. 1. Toxicity of Phenolic and Flavonoid Compounds and Related Substances
TL;DR: It is likely that at least part of the resistance to greenbugs of some barley varieties is attributable to the presence of these phenolic and flavonoid substances in quantities sufficient to retard the insect's growth and reproduction.
