Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of seed proteins from recently synthesized F1 triploid and colchicine-induced hexaploid plants showed the additive banding patterns of their parents (G. hirsutum × G. sturtianum) when compared to the synthetic mixture of the latter. Gene mutations, diploidization and species specific regulatory systems are discussed as possible evolutionary processes for the protein banding differences in the allopolyploids of the genus Gossypium.

An electrophoretic procedure was developed for discriminating cultivars of Desmodium ovalifolium on the basis of patterns of partially purified seed proteins. Electrophoresis was done on uniform 15% polycrylamide gels in basic (8.9) pH. The method produced satisfactory discrimination of eight cultivars used in its initial evaluation.Key words: Forage legume, Desmodium ovalifolium Guill et Perr., cultivar identification, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

Self-incompatibility, a prefertilization event, and self-sterility, a postfertilization event, have both been suggested as causes for differences in seed set between cross- and self-pollinated florets in Lotus corniculatus L. Ovary protein subunits of selfed, crossed, and unpollinated florets of L. corniculatus cv. Mirabel were studied using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Banding patterns differed for all three conditions. Ovary protein differences were found prior to the time fertilization is known to occur, thereby providing evidence that self-incompatibility is at least partially responsible for the reduced seed set after self-pollination.

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was used for analysis of isozyme banding patterns of leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI), esterase (EST) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD) in strawberry leaves. The extracts prepared from young leaf tissues using polytron homogenization and an extraction buffer containing 15 mg ml−1 dithiothreitol (DTT) and 10% insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-6755) gave best resolution for these enzymes. The influence of plant age and various growing environments on the stability of isozyme phenotypes was examined. The isozyme banding patterns of 6-PGD were found to vary with the change in growing environment as well as age of the plants. EST produced different banding patterns in greenhouse and tissue culture leaves. However, the isozyme phenotypes of LAP, PGM and PGI remained stable under all the conditions tested. Using a combination of these three stable enzymes, it was possible to distinguish eight strawberry cultivars under both tissue culture and greenhouse conditions.

Discrimination of lentil cultivars was achieved by analysis of seed protein by two types of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Cultivars of lentil were discriminated by the presence or absence of diagnostic bands. Electrophoregrams of six seed lots of the cultivar Eston were identical and unaffected by growing conditions.Key words: Lens culinaris Medic, seed proteins, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, cultivar identification

ABSTRACT Three preparations of ovine LH were compared for biological potency and by several in vitro parameters. All were found to be heterogenous by immunodoublediffusion and by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. They all also showed similarities and/or differences with respect to their characteristics in immunodoublediffusion, radioimmunoassay, radioreceptor assay, gel electrophoresis and in dye-binding capacity, but in ways that preclude establishing a meaningful correlation between biopotency and the in vitro parameters or even among the in vitro parameters themselves. The implications of these findings for the use of these in vitro parameters for screening and assessing biological potencies of LH preparations and for inferring chemical and/or structural similarities between LH preparations are discussed. Aspects of polymorphism of LH, observed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels, are also discussed.
