Flavonoids from shoots, roots and roots exudates of Brassica alba

Phytochemistry. 2004 Dec;65(23):3131-4. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2004.08.031.

Abstract

Analysis of extracts obtained from shoots, roots and exudates of Brassica alba revealed the presence of 3,5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-4'-methoxy flavone in shoots, as well as 2',3',4',5',6'-pentahydroxy chalcone and 3,5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy flavone in roots and exudates. Apigenin was also found in the shoots and roots, but not in the root exudates.
