• Total phenolic, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of flour, noodles, and steamed bread made from different colored wheat grains by three milling methods (2015, background): “A previous study also showed that there are many kinds of polyphenols in plant, and different phenolic molecular structures showed different antioxidant activities [31].”
• Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Alleviates Salinity-Retarded Seed Germination and Oxidative Stress in Tomato (2018, neutral): “Polyphenols are of various classes, among which epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the flavonoid class of polyphenols, and is considered the most abundant polyphenol in tea plants (Agati et al. 2012; Hong et al. 2015).”
• Flavonoids as Important Molecules of Plant Interactions with the Environment (2014, background): “The ratios of quercetin to the kaempferol derivatives or luteolin to the apigenin derivatives drastically increase upon exposure to UV-B, UV-A + UV-B or photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) [101,102].”
• Antioxidants and Antioxidant Enzymes in Higher Plants (2018, background): “On the other hand, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds, which are among numerous substrates of POXs, can constitute a ‘secondary’ antioxidant system that is activated upon severe stress conditions (Agati et al. 2012).”
• Chemistry and Biological Activities of Flavonoids: An Overview (2013, background): “This review highlights the structural features of flavonoids, their beneficial roles in human health, and significance in plants as well as their microbial production.”
• Recent Developments in Enzymatic Antioxidant Defence Mechanism in Plants with Special Reference to Abiotic Stress (2021, background): “In terms of antioxidant mechanism, ascorbate-glutathione are the leading molecules that maintain the redox homeostasis via the Foyer-Halliwell-Asada Pathway, while flavonoids, phenolic compounds and POX serve as the second line of defence system that helps plants to cope with excess H2O2 [81,82].”
• Response of Phenylpropanoid Pathway and the Role of Polyphenols in Plants under Abiotic Stress (2019, background): “This fact was supported by various researchers who observed enhanced biosynthesis of flavonoids in plants under UV radiations, accompanied by enhanced UV absorption and plant tolerance to these radiations [98,150] and powerful antioxidant capacity [151].”
• Enhancement of oxidative and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis by overaccumulation of antioxidant flavonoids (2013, background): “Cytosolic H2O2 enters the vacuoles and subsequently initiates a chain reaction resulting in excess ROS accumulation (Bolouri-Moghaddam et al., 2010; Agati et al., 2012).”
