Abstract
Three classes of phenolic metabolite overwhelmingly predominate in the leaves of vascular plants (2). These are respectively:
-
(i)
proanthocyanidins — procyanidins (1, R = H) and prodelphinidins (1, R = OH) (25),
-
(ii)
glycosylated flavonols (principally those of kaempferol, quercetin and myricetin) (20), and
-
(iii)
esters, amides and glycosides of the hydroxycinnamic acids (principally those of p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic and sinapic acids) (31).
