Title:

Significance of flavonoids in plant resistance and enhancement of their biosynthesis

Document type:
Zeitschriftenaufsatz
Author(s):
Treutter, D.
Abstract:
The roles of flavonoids in plant defence against pathogens, herbivores, and environmental stress are reviewed and their significant contribution to plant resistance is discussed. The induction of flavonoids is of particular interest for gathering evidence of their roles. Tools are mentioned which may enhance flavonoid biosynthesis and accumulation. These include metabolic engineering and UV light. The induction of defence-related flavonoids is modified by other determining factors and competitio...     »
