Modulation of Phytohormone Signaling: A Primary Function of Flavonoids in Plant–Environment Interactions

The old observation that plants preferentially synthesize flavonoids with respect to the wide range of phenylpropanoid structures when exposed to high doses of UV-B radiation has supported the view that flavonoids are primarily involved in absorbing the shortest solar wavelengths in photoprotection....
