Impaired antioxidant defense associated with flavonoid biosynthesis reprogramming in the mangrove Acanthus ilicifolius under high salinity
Findings show that A. ilicifolius compensates for impaired antioxidant defenses by redirecting metabolism toward flavonoid synthesis, providing novel insights into the molecular basis of mangrove salt tolerance and its potential medicinal applications.
