Abstract
SDS-PAGE analysis of seed albumins and globulins from two pigeonpea, Cajanus cajan, cultivars (DSLR-17 and BDN-2) and ten wild species, including C. cajanifolius, C. lineatus, C. sericeus, C. acutifolius, C. lanceolatus, C. reticulates, C. albicans, C. scarabaeoides, C. volubilis and C. platycarpus, resulted in 34 albumin and 27 globulin polypeptides. Proximity matrix analysis based on electrophoretic banding patterns of albumins and globulins jointly revealed C. cajanifolius to be closest to C. cajan having similarity coefficients of 0.595 and 0.676, respectively. Cluster analysis also exhibited the grouping of C. cajanifolius with C. cajan in one cluster. C. platycarpus has been out grouped. The present analysis more or less agreed with the sectional classification of the genus Cajanus and it has been hypothesized that cultivated pigeonpea has evolved through multi-genomic interaction involving C. cajanifolius and that it has experienced minor genomic reorganization during its divergence.
