Abstract
Changer in soluble protein and ascorbic acid contents have been analysed at various growth stages in shoot of Nordrrrnr vrrlgare L., Larhyrus odoratus L. (C, plants); Sorgllum vt~fgarPee rs. and Zen ntoys L. (C1 plants). The quantity of ascorbic acid increased with the growth of seedlings and significantly higher concentration of this metabolite n$ well na protein In the shoot at flowering stage in comparison to 28-days-old vegetative stage in all the plants may indicates increased requirement for the highly activated stage of differentiation. The amount of protein and ascorbic acid were also found significantly higher in light than in dark-grown seedlings. Interestingly. loss of ascorbic acid in CI p1311ts WIS significantly less than that in C, plants maintained in dark. Moreover, CI plants were found more efficient in regaining the lost ascorbic acid level on exposure to light in comparison to the C, plants..........
