Flavonoids as chemotaxonomic markers for Asteraceae.
Flavonoids have been shown to be good taxonomic markers for Asteraceae. More than 800 compounds comprising 4700 flavonoid occurrences were included in a computational system specially made for chemotaxonomic purposes. Some implications of flavonols, flavones and other types as well as structural features of them are discussed for tribes and subtribes of Asteraceae.
