Phenylpropanoid metabolism is one of the most important metabolisms in plants, yielding
more than 8,000 metabolites contributing to plant development and plant–environment …

Plant growth-defense tradeoffs are fundamental for optimizing plant performance and fitness
in a changing biotic/abiotic environment. This process is thought to involve readjusting …

Wild teas are valuable genetic resources for studying domestication and breeding. Here we
report the assembly of a high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome for an ancient …

The conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fermentable sugar for biofuel production is
inefficient, and most strategies to enhance efficiency directly target lignin biosynthesis, with …

This paper aims at analysing the synthesis of flavonoids, their import and export in plant cell
compartments, as well as their involvement in the response to stress, with particular …

Lignin is the generic term for a large group of aromatic polymers resulting from the oxidative
combinatorial coupling of 4-hydroxyphenylpropanoids (Boerjan et al., 2003; Ralph et al …

The phenylpropanoid pathway serves as a rich source of metabolites in plants, being
required for the biosynthesis of lignin, and serving as a starting point for the production of …

The flavonoid pathway produces a diverse array of plant compounds with functions in UV
protection, as antioxidants, pigments, auxin transport regulators, defence compounds …

Phenylpropanoids, particularly flavonoids have been recently suggested as playing primary
antioxidant functions in the responses of plants to a wide range of abiotic stresses …

We discuss on the relative significance of different functional roles potentially served by
flavonoids in photoprotection, with special emphasis to their ability to scavenge reactive …
