The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Secondary metabolites and their multidimensional prospective in plant life (2017, neutral): “Their high concentration also imparts fungal resistance [48] .”
Phenolics: From Chemistry to Biology (2009, background): “enzymes involved in radical generation, such as various cytochrome P450 isoforms, lipoxygenases, cyclooxygenase and xanthine oxidase [12,15].”
Nutritional Properties of Bamboo Shoots: Potential and Prospects for Utilization as a Health Food (2011, background): “These beneficial effects of phenols are due to their strong antioxidant activity wherein they scavenge oxygen radicals and other reactive species (Rice-Evans and others 1997; Parr and Bowell 2000; Heim and others 2002; Dini and others 2006).”
Molecular cloning, characterization and expression of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene from Ginkgo biloba (2008, background): “Furthermore, flavonoids can protect plants against UV-B radiation and pathogen attack, attract pollinating insects, and act as signal molecules for initiating plant-microbe symbiotic associations (Parr and Bolwell, 2000; Winkel-Shirley, 2002).”
Polyphenols: food sources and bioavailability. (2004, background): “Many polyphenols, especially phenolic acids, are directly involved in the response of plants to different types of stress: they contribute to healing by lignification of damaged areas, they possess antimicrobial properties, and their concentrations may increase after infection (2, 6, 52).”
