Abstract
In the cultivar ofPhaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Vainica Saavegra B a protein was found in the seeds having a more or less reduced electrophoretic mobility on the cathodic side in comparison with standard cultivars. This protein which has phytohaemagglutinating activity loses this property at a greatly decreased mobility, whereas at partially reduced mobility the phytohaemagglutinating activity is maintained. The protein with a partially decreased mobility is immunochemically identical with the protein having normal mobility, whilst the protein with strongly reduced mobility is immunochemically only partly similar.
