Abstract:

Corn silk, a kind of traditional Chinese drug, contains bioactive components that play important roles in the regulation of many physiological functions. In this paper, current research including purification, structure identification, biological activity and gene regulation of flavonoids in corn silk was comprehensively summarized. These investigations will provide theoretical references for future research and development of corn silk.

Key words: corn silk, flavonoids, purification, structure, biological activity, gene regulation
