Flavonoids and evolution in the dicotyledons

摘要: The use of flavonoids in plant systematics and evolution, particularly the angiosperms, has been reviewed on a regular basis (Harborne, 1967a, 1975, 1977; Swain, 1975; Young, 1981; Harborne Mabry, 1982). Except for pioneering survey work by Bate-Smith (1962, 1968), however, comprehensive discussion flavonoid flowering plants within context current classificatory scheme is rare 1967a; Gornall et al, 1979). study al. (1979) pertinent because data are arranged according to one several contemporary angiosperm classifications (Dahlgren, 1977) have provided other recent comparisons, both phytochemical (Young, 1981) morphological/phytochemical (e.g. Rodman al., 1984).
