RESUMO

Changes of lipophilic chloroplast quinones in corn, oats, peas, and Vicia faba are reported after 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48, 72, or 96 hours of exposure to light. There is a pronounced increase in plastoquinone A and chlorophyll levels and slight increase, in plastoquinone C1-6, vitamin K1, and α-tocopherylquinone content. Coenzyme Q levels, on the other hand, show little change upon exposure to light.
