“…A series of flavonoid subclasses, including flavonols, flavones, proanthocyanidins, and anthocyanins, have been identified in plants and function as antioxidants to protect against oxidative stress and cell damage (Clayton et al, 2018;Dixon & Paiva, 1995;Do & Cormier, 1990;Vickers, Gershenzon, Lerdau, & Loreto, 2009). Flavonoids are widely distributed in different cell compartments, including the cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuole, chloroplast, nucleus, small vesicles, and extracellular space (Agati, Matteini, Goti, & Tattini, 2007;Petrussa et al, 2013;Saslowsky, Warek, & Winkel, 2005;Saunders & McClure, 1976;Xu et al, 2015;Zhao & Dixon, 2010).…”
