Abstract
Comparative SDS-PAGE analysis of seed globulins covered 74 accessions representing 19 New World Lupinus species, 18 North American lupins and one South American species: L. mutabilis. The species investigated showed major, well-defined polypeptide bands in the approximate M r range of 40–75 kDa. In general, intraspecific variation blurred interspecific differences; L. mutabilis could not be distinguished from the North American lupins. Of the taxa investigated, only L. subcarnosus and L. succulentus displayed some species-specific features. The American species examined showed different seed globulin patterns from those reported earlier for the smooth-seeded and for the rough-seeded Old World lupins.
