Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book provides an exhaustive analysis of flavonoids' role in determining relationships among plant groups, specifically within Asteraceae, the largest family of flowering plants. This monograph compiles over 2,500 reports of flavonoid studies published from 1950 onwards and interprets these findings against the backdrop of modern taxonomic alignments. The book synthesizes data from phylogenetic studies based on both morphological and DNA data, offering insights into the systematic and evolutionary relevance of flavonoids within this diverse plant family. The text outlines flavonoid patterns across various tribes of Asteraceae, such as Anthemideae, Astereae, Eupatorieae, and others, demonstrating how these compounds act as taxonomic markers at different hierarchical levels - subfamilial, tribal, subtribal, and specific. Additionally, the authors delve into the biosynthesis of flavonoids, their biological functions, and how they indicate evolutionary processes like hybridization and introgression. The work also addresses flavonoid relationships with other plant families and provides a robust evaluation of how flavonoid systems have evolved in the Asteraceae family. This publication serves as the most comprehensive reference on the systematic and evolutionary importance of flavonoids within any large family of angiosperms. It is an essential resource for botanists, plant taxonomists, chemists, and evolutionary biologists interested in plant systematics and phylogeny. -- "Flavonoids are secondary plant products that have previously been shown to be helpful in determining relationships among plant groups. This work presents comprehensively the occurrence, patterns of variation, and systematic and evolutionary importance of flavonoids in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), the largest family of flowering plants (23,000 species). It gathers together the more than 2500 reports of flavonoids in Asteraceae published between 1950 to the present and interprets these data in context of new taxonomic (especially generic) alignments. The authors discuss flavonoid patterns with reference to modern phylogenetic studies based on morphology and DNA data. This book provides, therefore, the most exhaustive synthesis and evaluation of the systematic and evolutionary import of flavonoids ever accomplished for any large family of angiosperms.".
