TLDR
Ultraviolet absorption in petals of Potentilla species with yellow flowers is provided by both the yellow chalcone isosalipurposide and by colourless flavonol glycosides, which was detected in about half those species with patterning but also occurred in several where the whole petal is absorbing.

Flavonoids and flower colour

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the color signals emerging from flowers are messages interpretable by mammals as well as by birds and insects, and that colour is most likely a link between animals and plants, as are flower shape, scent and taste.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potentilla--a review of its phytochemical and pharmacological profile.

TL;DR: This comprehensive review provides a botanical description of Potentilla species and their phytochemical constituents in the aerial and underground parts and recommends that future efforts should concentrate more on in vitro and in vivo studies and also on clinical trials in order to confirm traditional wisdom in the light of a rational phytotherapy.

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.

Comparative biochemistry of flavonoids—I. : Distribution of chalcone and aurone pigments in plants

TL;DR: Isosalipurposide has been identified as the yellow pigment in petals of Paeonia trollioides, Dianthus caryophyllus, Aeschynanthus parvifolius and Asystasia gangetica and the distribution of aureusidin 6-glucoside (aureusin) in the Scrophulariaceae is described.

TL;DR: Auch unter Berücksichtigung der uv-freien Male sind bei radiären Blüten Muster weniger häufig als bei dorsiventralen, wie das sichtbare Licht an den Intercostalfeldern stärker als an den Nerven.
