The Flavonoid Bomb: General Metabolic Perceptions in Plants
Author(s): Hammad Hussain*, Hina Shaukat, Zainab and Hafiza Sarwat Rahman
The flavonoid pathway is a metabolic pathway in plants that is responsible for the synthesis of flavonoids, which are
secondary metabolites that play important roles in plant growth, development, and response to various
environmental stresses. This pathway involves a series of enzymatic reactions that convert simple phenolic compounds
into complex flavonoid molecules. The genes involved in the flavonoid pathway are regulated by a complex network
of transcription factors and signaling pathways that respond to various environmental cues. These genes include
structural genes that encode enzymes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, as well as regulatory genes that control the
expression of these structural genes. The study of flavonoid pathway and its related genes is important not only for
understanding plant physiology but also for developing new strategies for impro.. View More»
