In the course of this Introduction, therefore, a brief background is developed in relation to not only flavonoids but also peroxidase-catalysed reactions.enThe AuthorChalonesPeroxidaseThe oxidation of chalcone catalysed by peroxidase : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Science at Massey UniversityThesisQ112840631https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q112840631
