Abstract
Electrophoretic analyses of non-reduced and reduced seed storage proteins from Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae species and cultivars were performed. High molecular disulfide bonded complexes between intermediary subunits of 11S globulins previously detected in Capsicum annuum cultivars, were found in Solanum melongena cultivars as well. The data obtained might be used for further elucidation of peculiarities of the 11S globulins in dicotyledonous plants.
