From an evolutionary perspective, the emergence of the sophisticated chemical scaffolds of
flavonoid molecules represents a key step in the colonization of Earth's terrestrial …

As a major component of plant specialized metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthetic
pathways provide anthocyanins for pigmentation, flavonoids such as flavones for protection …

Flavonoids are important secondary plant metabolites believed to be present mainly in land
plants. As phenolics were detected previously in microalgae using photometric assays, we …

Flavonoids and isoflavonoids are major plant secondary metabolites that mediate diverse
biological functions and exert significant ecological impacts. These compounds play …

Specialized metabolic enzymes biosynthesize chemicals of ecological importance, often
sharing a pedigree with primary metabolic enzymes. However, the lineage of the enzyme …

The glandular trichomes (lupulin glands) of hop (Humulus lupulus) synthesize essential oils
and terpenophenolic resins, including the bioactive prenylflavonoid xanthohumol. To dissect …

Isoflavonoids are a diverse group of secondary metabolites derived from the
phenylpropanoid pathway. These compounds are distributed predominantly in leguminous …
