Abstrakt
Phenolic compounds are plant secondary metabolites playing
important roles in plant resistance. Their chemical structure is based on at
least one aromatic ring bonded to one or more hydroxyl groups. They are
mainly synthetized from amino acid phenylalanine which is converted to
cinnamic acid. Phenolics are one of the largest and most diverse groups
of plant active substances. These compounds take part in the regulation
of seed germination and cooperate in regulating the growth of plants, also
taking part in defence responses during infection, excessive sun exposure,
injuries and heavy metal stress. One of the most important features
of phenolic compounds is antioxidant activity which is closely related to
their chemical structure. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of
phenolic compounds in the interactions of plants with various stress
factors, both biotic and abiotic with special attention to their antioxidant
properties.
