Abstract
The alkaloid content in Chelidonium majus has been examined during the day, both in summer and in winter. Sanguinarine, chelidonine, chelery thrine, berberine and coptisine were detected in all parts of the plan t. While the berberine content was rather stable, the other alkaloids undergo remarkable daily variations probably due to the combined effec t of light and temperature.
