Focus on polyphenols II
The XXVIIIth International Conference on Polyphenols was held in Vienna, Austria, in July 2016. This meeting provided scientists of the polyphenol community worldwide a unique forum to exchange ideas and present novel findings on plant polyphenol research, including biosynthesis, genetics and metabolic engineering, functions in plants and ecosystems, physical–chemical properties, or biological properties related to health benefits as well as various applications in food, nutrition, natural medicine, or material science. Some of the cutting-edge contributions of the conference are presented in this issue of Planta.
