Phenolic Compound Diversity Explored in the Context of Photo ‐Oxidative Stress Protection

ConclusionAmong the studied compounds, anthocyanins and flavonols were the strongest singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide scavengers, and are thus capable of supporting defence against both photoinhibition by visible light and UV stress in leaves, while flavanols may only be effective against the latter.
