Abstract: | The photoacoustic spectroscopic studies of purple pigmented leaves revealed the occurrence of anthocyanins and betalains in
some local weed species growing on soils with low moisture levels. The pigmentation intensities were higher in C4 plants than in C3 plants. An inverse correlation was observed between pigmentation intensities and soil moisture levels.
