Flavonoids: Recent Advances and Applications in Crop Breeding

Abstract: Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that perform a wide range of roles in plants. These include their involvement in plant growth, pigmentation, and UV protection, to a variety of defense and signaling activities. Flavonoids such as chalcones, flavones, flavanols, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanins are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. The metabolic routes of the flavonoids are exploited extensively using several biotech approaches to enhance the crop variety and incorporate varied nutritional benefits.… Show more

“…Many flavonoids are pigments that give various colors to plant tissues [17,18]. So, anthocyanins determine the red, blue, purple color of flowers, and flavones, flavonols, aurones, chalcones -yellow and orange [19]. Flavonoids take part in photosynthesis, formation of lignin and suberin, as protective agents in plant pathogenesis.…”
