Red clover (<i>Trifolium pratense</i> L.) isoflavones: root phenolic compounds affected by biotic and abiotic stress factors

Abstract

Elevated ozone, cultivation regime and growth stage affected the levels of phenolics in red clover roots, suggesting sensitivity of root phenolics to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The high levels of phenolics found in roots even in late autumn may be utilised in many applications.
