Abstract
Using immunochemical methods the authors investigated the evolutionary taxonomic distribution of the reserve seed protein “phaseolin” in cultivars ofPhaseolus vulgaris, in a series of species ofPhaseolus, and in representatives of some additional genera ofViciaceae.
“Phaseolin” is typical of the seed ofPhaseolus vulgaris L.: it was detected in all 658 investigated cultivars — and also in species related toPhaseolus vulgaris L.(Ph. vulgaris L. ssp.aborigineus Burk.,Ph. polyanthus Green,Ph. dumosus Macf.,Ph. coccineus L., and in an undescribed species from the group ofPh. vulgaris L. -Ph. coccineus L.). A protein immunochemically somewhat similar to „phaseolin“ occurs inPh. acufifolius A. Gray. In all other taxa“phaseolin” is absent.
