This review throws light on the natural occurrence and distribution of tricin (5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyflavone) and its conjugated forms, as more common natural plant constituents than previously known. It examines the current literature dealing with its biosynthesis, regulation, biological significance, pharmacological effects, and potential role as a chemopreventive and anticancer agent. Because of its common occurrence in cereal grain plants and the wide spectrum of its health promoting effects, a metabolic engineering strategy is proposed to produce tricin in sufficient amounts for further experimentation, and increase its accumulation in wheat grain endosperm as a nutraceutical.
