Abstract

The seasonal variation of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid have been investigated  in leaves of Butea monosperma, Madhuca indica, Syzygium cumini and Mimusops elengi are important medicinal plants. Comparative account of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid content of leaves of three medicinal plants revealed that, the highest amount of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid content in the leaves of Sesbania cannabina (3.2 mg/g fresh wt.), (2.76 mg/g fresh wt.) and (1.44 mg/g fresh wt.) in summer seasons and  comparative lower amount of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid content in the leaves of Sesbania cannabina (3.2 mg/g fresh wt.), (2.76 mg/g fresh wt.) and (1.44 mg/g fresh wt.) in summer seasons.

 

Key Words: Medicinal plant, Chlorophyll, Carotenoid and genus Sesbania
