The effect of phosphorus deficiency on anthocyanin content in tomato plants was studied from the point of view of pathological anthocyanin formation. Phosphorus deficiency resulted in an evident increase of anthocyanin content in all experiments, independently of the tomato variety and of the cultivation conditions. The anthocyanin amount was five times higher on the average and the differences were statistically significant. The average growth inhibition of tomato plants under phosphorus deficiency was 18%. Accumulation of anthocyanins is limited by the temperature; anthocyanins are not synthesized at temperatures above 30°. The results of the experimental variant with enhanced phosphorus concentration in nutrient solution were not uniform. In some experiments a decrease of anthocyanins accompanied by slight growth stimulation was observed, in others an increase associated with growth inhibition. It seems that cultivation conditions, especially the light intensity, play an important role in these experimental variants.
