✦ Synopsis

A recently developed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis technique for tuber proteins is used to help elucidate the evolution and taxonomy of some cultivated potatoes. The results substantiate the theory that Group Tuberosum evolved from Group Andigena, that Group Andigena evolved from a cultivated diploid Γ— wild diploid hybrid, and that Group Phureja evolved from Group Stenotomum. Furthermore, the results suggest these groups are closely enough related to merit classification within a single species.

The seed protein profile obtained by disc electrophoresis was found to be a diagnostic characteristic of the broad bean, V.jaba, and of its taxonomically wild relatives V. narbonensis, V. galilaea and V. hyaeniscyamus The marked difference in the seed protein profile of the cultivated species and th
