Over 8000 different flavonoids have been described and a considerable number of new
flavonoid structures are being elucidated every year. The advent of metabolomics alongside …

Flavonoids are a signature class of secondary metabolites formed from a relatively simple
collection of scaffolds. They are extensively decorated by chemical reactions including …

Anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins are among the most numerous and widely distributed
pigments in land plants. Given that these pigments are the valuable compounds, as stress …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate plant growth and development. ROS are kept at
low levels in cells to prevent oxidative damage, allowing them to be effective signaling …

Plants produce a huge array of metabolites, far more than those produced by most other
organisms. Unraveling this diversity and its underlying genetic variation has attracted …

The phenylpropanoid pathway in plants is responsible for the biosynthesis of a huge amount
of secondary metabolites derived from phenylalanine and tyrosine. Both flavonoids and …

Highlights•Plants are considered to biosynthesize specialized metabolites to adapt to
environmental stresses.•The function of metabolites induced by abiotic stress in vivo is …

Decoration of phytochemicals contributes to the majority of metabolic diversity in nature,
whereas how this process alters the biological functions of their precursor molecules …

GWAS involves testing genetic variants across the genomes of many individuals of a
population to identify genotype–phenotype association. It was initially developed and has …

Commonly found flavonols in plants are synthesized from dihydroflavonols by flavonol
synthase (FLS). The genome of Arabidopsis thaliana contains six FLS genes, among which …
