Variety-specificity of soluble proteins of potato tubers

Marta Czupryn, Kazimierz Toczko

Abstract


Separation of soluble tuber proteins from six potato clones and twelve varieties cultivated in Poland has been accomplished by disc electrophoresis. It was found that electrophoretic pattern was unique for a given clone or variety. Data obtained confirm results of the other authors for the other varieties and indicate that electrophoretic analysis of potato tuber proteins can be a useful method for taxonomic studies. Such analysis however cannot be used for genetic research since no correlations were found between electrophoretic patterns and genetic origin of respective clones and varieties.
