Abstract
We have analysed the karyotype structure, DNA amounts and seed protein profiles of three isolated populations of two species: S. saetabensis and S. tragoriganum. These species are closely related from a karyological and morphological point of view. The differences in karyotypes and seed protein profiles between species and among populations could be the result of the differentiation that they are undergoing at present due to geographical isolation.
