TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss the distribution and evolution of the Flavonoids in the Lower Plants and its evolution in the Dicotyledons of the world's plants.Abstract:

The Effects of Plant Flavonoids on Mammalian Cells:Implications for Inflammation, Heart Disease, and Cancer
TL;DR: Western medicine has not yet used flavonoids therapeutically, even though their safety record is exceptional, and suggestions are made where such possibilities may be worth pursuing.

Stress-Induced Phenylpropanoid Metabolism.
Richard A. Dixon,Nancy L. Paiva +1 more
TL;DR: Limiting discussion to stress-induced phenylpropanoids eliminates few of the structural classes, because many compounds that are constitutive in one plant species or tissue can be induced by various stresses in another species or in another tissue of the same plant.

Antimicrobial activity of flavonoids
T.P. Tim Cushnie,Andrew J. Lamb +1 more
TL;DR: Several high-quality investigations have examined the relationship between flavonoid structure and antibacterial activity and these are in close agreement, and future studies may allow the development of a pharmacologically acceptable antimicrobial agent or class of agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in flavonoid research since 1992.
TL;DR: Some of the recent advances in flavonoid research are reviewed and the role of anthocyanins and flavones in providing stable blue flower colours in the angiosperms is outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biochemistry and medical significance of the flavonoids.
TL;DR: Flavonoids are plant pigments that are synthesised from phenylalanine, generally display marvelous colors known from flower petals, mostly emit brilliant fluorescence when they are excited by UV light, and are ubiquitous to green plant cells.
