Abstract

Results obtained by comparison of similarity of seed protein spectra of 15 species of the genusAllium (in 22 samples) by means of immunochemical methods more or less correspond to the contemporary division of this genus. Species belonging to the sectionCepa (according to Vvedenskiy) andPhyllodolon have very similar spectra, which suggests that they either should be allocated to one sectionCepa or to two subsections (Cepa andPhyllodolon). Species belonging to the subgenusRhizirideum considerably differ in seed proteins. The investigated species of the subgenusMelanocrommyum show the most distinct spectrum of all the other analyzed representatives, less marked differences were found in the case of the representatives of the subgenusAllium.
