Abstract
Seed proteins of Stellaria longipes s.l. 2n = 52, 78, and 104, have been characterized using sodium dodecyl sulphate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The same general pattern as regards the number of major protein components resolved was observed in all the genotypes and cytotypes studied. These included all the morphotypes that were described as distinct species. The present data do not contradict the conclusions drawn from cytogenetic studies that all the morphological types are closely related and are part of a polyploid species complex.
