“…Phenols and flavonoids are common secondary metabolites in plants, which not only regulate the growth and development (Agati & Tattini, 2010;Manoj & Murugan, 2012), but also have important health benefits for human (Andrae-Marobela et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2018). Phenols' roles within plants include being part of their defense against herbivores, weeds and pathogens, and phenolic compounds serve as structural support in plants (Jones & Hartley, 1999;Otálora et al, 2018). Phenolic compounds have been found to be important for the sensory, nutritional, medicinal and commercial value of edible and medicinal plants (Otálora et al, 2018;Wahle et al, 2010).…”

Flavonoid compounds have important physiological and ecological functions for plants, for example in protecting them from UV radiation by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to their cytotoxicity and ability to interact with enzymes (Heim, Tagliaferro & Bobilya, 2002;Treutter, 2006;Vaknin et al, 2005).…”

Total phenols, flavonoids, minerals and amino acids content were investigated in leaves of four fern species grown under four shading treatments with different sunlight transmittance in 35% full sunlight (FS), 13% FS, 8% FS and 4% FS. The leaves of four fern species contain high levels of total phenols and flavonoids, abundant minerals and amino acids, and these all were strongly affected by transmittance. Total phenols and flavonoids content were significantly positively correlated with transmittance, while minerals and total amino acids content were significantly negatively correlated with transmittance, a finding that supports research into how higher light intensity can stimulate the synthesis of phenols and flavonoids, and proper shading can stimulate the accumulation of minerals and amino acids. Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Todaro (MS) had the highest total phenols content, Athyrium multidentatum (Doll.) Ching (AM) showed the highest total amino acids, total essential amino acids content, Osmunda cinnamomea (L) var. asiatica Fernald (OCA) exhibited the highest total non-essential amino acids and flavonoids content. Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn var. latiusculum (Desy.) Underw. ex Heller (PAL) exhibited the highest minerals content. This research can provide a scientific basis for the cultivation and management of those four fern species.

“…Thus, NGUYEN and NIEMEYER [42] reported that nitrogen fertilization was found to have a significant effect on total phenolic level in Ocimum basilicum, which was high only at the lowest applied nitrogen treatment, while OTALORA & al. [43] observed that foliar nitrogen fertilization in elevated concentration determined low levels of total phenolic in Cichorium endivia.…”

Murraya exotica L. (Rutaceae) is an ornamental pot plant also known as a medicinal plant, containing secondary metabolites that have long been used in pharmacology as a treatment for different diseases.The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of fertilization regime on Murraya exotica plants growth and on some bioactive compounds contained in its leaves.Therefore, measurements of morphological parameters (number of the leaves, number of the branches on a plant, plant height) and biochemical analyzes (content in chlorophylls, carotenoids, carbohydrates, phenolics, and the antioxidant capacity) were performed on the leaves of the Murraya plants treated with different fertilizers.The present study revealed that the application of fertilization treatments exerted beneficial effects, improving the growth and quality of Murraya exotica tested plants.

Higher light intensity can effectively stimulate the synthesis of phenols and flavonoid, and proper shading can stimulate the accumulation of amino acids. In addition, Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Todaro (MS) had the highest total phenols content, Athyrium multidentatum (Doll.) Ching (AM) showed the highest total amino acids, total essential amino acids content, Osmunda cinnamomea (L) var. asiatica Fernald (OCA) exhibited the highest total non-essential amino acids content and flavonoids content, and Pteridium aquilinum L.
