Abstract
In a previous paper (Davies, 1926) the author studied the differences in the compositions of protoplasmic proteins of plants within a Natural Order (Leguminosae). The Natural Order Cruciferae afforded a means of developing the study in the direction not only of ascertaining differences, if any, of protoplasmic protein of plants within a genus, but also of differences possible within a species. Thus proteins were studied from the following varieties of the cabbage species (Brassica oleracea L.): Cabbage (B. oleracea var. capitata), Marrow stem kale (B. oleracea var.) from the stems and leaves separately, Kohl rabi (B. oleracea var. caulorapa). Also, the proteins from the leaves and roots respectively of white turnips (B. napo-brassica) were isolated and studied. In order to compare the protoplasmic proteins with those of seed of a plant of the same species, a globulin from rapeseed (seed of Brassica Napus L.) was prepared and analysed.
