- Abstract
- Here, we offer evidence that may challenge the view that light-inducible UV-absorbing flavonoids function primarily in attenuating short-wavelength solar UV-B radiation. We propose that UV-absorbing flavonoids serve an important antioxidant function in photoprotection. Our suggestion is based upon: the UV-screening and antioxidant
properties of UV-inducible flavonoids; their accumulation in the mesophyll, not only in epidermal cells following sunlight exposure; the minor role of effective UV
attenuators, such as hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, in the response of plants to sunlight irradiance; and the high capacity of antioxidant flavonoid structures to regulate
auxin movement. (literal)
