Correlation of oxidative transformations of hydrolyzable tannins and plant evolution.
The progressive oxidative transformations in the biogenesis of hydrolyzable tannins, gallotannin (I) --> ellagitannin (II) --> dehydro ellagitannin (III) --> transformed dehydroellagitannin (IV), conform in several aspects to the evolutionary routes in the subclasses of Dicotyledonae, particularly in the Rosidae.
