Total protein and free amino acids were estimated in Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. shoot tip at eleven stages of ontogenic development under natural environment. Protein and free amino acids decreased in the shoot tip after two months from planting. In the achlorophyllous part of leaf, protein content decreased but an increase in amino acids was noted. In the chlorophyllous region, however free amino acids decreased and an increase in protein was recorded
