The phytohormone auxin is a major determinant and regulatory component important for plant development. Auxin transport between cells is mediated by a complex system of transporters such as AUX1/LAX, PIN, and ABCB proteins, and their localization and activity is thought to be influenced by phosphatases and kinases. Flavonols have been shown to alter auxin transport activity and changes in...

Flavonols are a group of secondary metabolites that affect diverse cellular processes. They are considered putative negative regulators of the transport of the phytohormone auxin, by which they influence auxin distribution and concomitantly take part in the control of plant organ development. Flavonols are accumulating in a large number of glycosidic forms. Whether these have distinct...

Flavonoids represent a class of secondary metabolites with diverse functions in plants including UV protection, pathogen defence, and interspecies communication. They are also known as modulators of signalling processes in plant and animal systems and therefore are considered to have beneficial effects as nutraceuticals. The rol1-2 (repressor of lrx1) mutation of Arabidopsis...
