Polyphenolic compounds in plants

Polyphenolic compounds in plants

Polyphenolic compounds are a diverse group of plant secondary metabolites that play essential roles in plant defense, pigmentation, and growth regulation. These compounds, including flavonoids, tannins, and lignins, protect plants from herbivores, pathogens, and environmental stressors. They exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which make them valuable in human health and nutrition as well. In plants, polyphenols contribute to structural integrity and UV protection, enhancing resilience to environmental stresses. Recent research explores the genetic regulation of polyphenol biosynthesis to boost the concentration of these beneficial compounds in crops, improving not only plant health but also the nutritional value of agricultural produce.
