TY - JOUR T1 - Effect of Cold on Protein, Proline, Phenolic Compounds and Chlorophyll Content of Two Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Varieties AU - Koç, Esra AU - İşlek, Cemil AU - Üstün, A.

The plants were raised in a growth room under a controlled environment of 25 ± 2 °C and 16 h light / 8 h dark photoperiod. Then, plants exposed to 4°C cold stress for three days and control groups were kept at 25°C. Our results show that cold treatment increased accumulation of apoplastic and total soluble protein, proline, phenolic compounds in pepperseedlings, while decreased the content of chlorophyll.Key Words: Capsicum annuum, Cold Stres, Protein, Phenolic, Proline.
