Abstract

Paper chromatograms of leaf extracts of five pear species and one interspecific F₁ hybrid. All detectable spots—mostly polyphenolic compounds—are marked. Components used for identification are indicated by solid lines and are numbered. Spot size and, for some, color intensity are indicative of amounts present.
