Abstract

Ten wild and six cultivated species were grown for 60 d at 550 and 3600 m above mean sea level. The concentration of total chlorophyll (chl) and carotenoids in fresh matter of leaves decreased in all the species with increase in altitude. Chl a:b ratio increase in high altitude was due to a considerable decrease in contents of chl b.
