Flavonoids are common constituents of plants. They play specific roles in many important phenomena, such as UV protection. However, UV-light absorption can trigger the production of small quantities of carbon monoxide (CO). CO exerts many positive effects in important physiological processes, and this project is aimed to uncover a correlation between the flavonols as CO-releasing compounds and the already reported production of CO under UV-exposure of plants.
