TLDR
Evaluation of data reveals a correlation in most cases between the occurrence of flavonoid aglycones, the presence of secretory structures and the production of other lipophilic plant products.

Chemistry and Biological Activities of Flavonoids: An Overview

TL;DR: The structural features of flavonoids, their beneficial roles in human health, and significance in plants as well as their microbial production are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flavonoids in Food and Their Health Benefits

TL;DR: The current advances in flavonoids in food is reviewed, with emphasis on health aspects on the basis of the published literature, which may provide some guidance for researchers in further investigations and for industries in developing practical health agents.

Plant phenolic antioxidant and prooxidant activities: phenolics-induced oxidative damage mediated by metals in plants.

TL;DR: The mechanism of phenoxyl radical prooxidant activity in terms of lifetime prolongation by spin-stabilizing agents is discussed and Phenoxyl radicals can form an antioxidant system equivalent to that of ascorbate in plant cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Naturally occurring auxin transport regulators.

TL;DR: It is shown that a group of flavonoids-including quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol—can specifically compete with [3H]NPA for binding to its receptor and can perturb auxin transport in a variety of plant tissues and transport systems in a manner closely paralleling the action of synthetic transport inhibitors.

Flavonoids and the evolution of the angiosperms

TL;DR: Data on the distribution of flavonoids in the angiosperms are summarized and patterns of occurence are shown to be related to plant evolution and the importance of these various distribution patterns is considered in relation to an ecological function for these flavonoid types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative biochemistry of flavonoids-III.

TL;DR: A correlation between flavonoid chemistry and plant geography has been discovered among Eucryphia species as discussed by the authors, where the rare quercetin 5-monomethyl- and 3,5-dimethyl ethers, azaleatin and caryatin, have been identified in leaf of two South American species E. cordifolia and E. glutinosa and in two of their hybrids.
