Abstract
⺠Phytomelatonin levels of leaves and fruits of wild perennial species were tested. ⺠The tested species are known to be eaten by herbivores and frugivores. ⺠Considerable level of phytomelatonin was found in the leaves of all tested species. ⺠Phytomelatonin was found in seeds and pulp of fleshy fruits of different families. ⺠Edible phytomelatonin may affect the circadian rhythm of herbivores and frugivores.
