22.3 Flavonoids and Plant Pathogen Resistance
The role of flavonoids in plant defence against pathogens, herbivores, and environmental stress are reviewed and their significant contribution to plant resistance is
documented (Lu et al. 2017; Treutter 2005). The table below (Table 22.2) highlight
several flavonoid compounds having anti-pathogenic activities found in plant
organisms.
22.4 Isoflavones: Role in Human Health
Unlike the adverse effect of phytoestrogens, isoflavones has established positive
role in human healthcare and several researchers investigated the beneficial effects
of this important group of bioactive compounds in this regard.
