Figure 3. Biosynthetic pathways yielding the phenolic classes analyzed in
this survey
Boxes represent classes. Flavonoids include flavanones, flavones,
chalcones, dihydroflavonols, flavonols, and any glycosides with an aglycone
based on a C6–C3–C6 structure. Dihydroflavonols are included in the
flavone/ol class.
