Response of Phenylpropanoid Pathway and the Role of Polyphenols in Plants under Abiotic Stress (2019, background): “Flavonoid accumulation in cytoplasm can efficiently detoxify harmful H2O2 molecules generated as a result of drought stress and, at the end oxidation of flavonoids is followed by ascorbic acid mediated re-conversion of flavonoids into primary metabolites [114].”
Antioxidant and prooxidant properties of flavonoids. (2011, background): “According to the “classical” definition, antioxidant is a molecule: (1) that could donate electrons or hydrogen atoms, (2) yields an antioxidant-derived radical that (3) is efficiently quenched by other electron or hydrogen sources to prevent cellular damage, and (4) whose properties are spatially a”
Flavonoids as Important Molecules of Plant Interactions with the Environment (2014, background): “Quercetin is a stronger inhibitor of auxin polar transport than kaempferol [153,154].”
The role of flavonoids in root-rhizosphere signalling: opportunities and challenges for improving plant-microbe interactions. (2012, background): “Their role within the plant as antioxidants is suspected to be protective, although clear evidence is lacking (Hernández et al., 2009).”
Antioxidants and Antioxidant Enzymes in Higher Plants (2018, background): “Based on the in planta antioxidant assay, the antioxidant capacity of flavonoids is several times higher than those of vitamin C and E due to their enhanced capacity to donate electrons or hydrogen atoms (Hernandez et al. 2009).”
Proteome analysis of soybean roots subjected to short-term drought stress (2010, background): “Physiological studies documented increased accumulation of flavonoids compounds under water stress, and their potential function against oxidative damage was discussed (Hernández et al. 2009).”
Enhancement of oxidative and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis by overaccumulation of antioxidant flavonoids (2013, background): “Our results suggest that anthocyanins, which generally accumulate in the vacuoles (Hernandez et al., 2009), prevent oxidative damage, making it possible for the anthocyanin-overaccumulating plants to exhibit oxidative and drought tolerance.”
