Flavonoids of the Sunflower Family (Asteraceae)

The book offers an in-depth exploration of flavonoids within the sunflower family (Asteraceae), the largest family of flowering plants. It compiles over 2,500 reports on flavonoid occurrences from 1950 to the present, analyzing their variations and systematic significance. By integrating findings with modern phylogenetic studies based on morphology and DNA, the authors present a comprehensive synthesis of the evolutionary roles of flavonoids, marking a significant contribution to the understanding of angiosperm taxonomy.
