| Title | The Determ ination o f Prolam ellar Bodies and Saponins in E tioplasts and Leaves o f A vena sativa L  | ||
| Abstract | Prolamellar body tubules in etioplasts are composed mainly of two saponins. The determination o f these sapo-nins in leaves, etioplasts or subfractions of etioplasts is re commended to evaluate the concentration of these tubules in a given fraction. Using a densitometer after TLC-separa-tion of the saponins measurements are carried out in a short time with high accurancy. Also the absolute concen tration of these saponins can be determined. Problems in the quantification o f the saponins in leaf samples can be overcame with filters of different wavelengths. | ||
