Abstrakt: The concentration of psoralens in celery ( Apium graveolens L.), variety 'Tender Crisp', harvested 120 days after planting, was 12 μg g f.wt, compared with 18 μg g f.wt in celery harvested 150 days after planting. After 1 month of storage at 2°C, concentrations of psoralens in the 120- and 150-day-old celery were 82 and 118 μg g f.wt, respectively. Concentrations of psoralens in the 120- and 150-day-old celery inoculated with Botrytis cinerea Pers., after 1 month of storage at 2°C, were 266 and 294 μg g f.wt, respectively.
