Abstract
Chalcones, flavanones, dihydrochalcones, and aurones are categorized into minor flavonoids. However, these compounds take the significant roles in plant kingdom. These minor flavonoids are unique to plants and are an essential part of their success in adapting to life as sedentary organisms in diverse and inconstant surrounding. Furthermore, these compounds are subclasses of the interesting naturally occurring flavonoids in view of their structural pattern as well as biochemical and pharmacological relevance. It seems that they are important not only for plants but also for animals including human beings. This chapter deals with these minor flavonoids.
