Abstract
It was shown that, in pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots, flavans are a dominating component of the soluble phenol fraction. In plants grown at low temperature (8°C), flavan content during the early growth phase was lower than in plants grown at 22°C, but later it increased and was by 40% higher than in plants grown at 22°C. Total phenol content in the two treatments differed insignificantly. Low growth temperature decreased the content of some phenolic compounds in pea seedling roots.
