Seed Protein Variation in Relation to Cytological Features of Some Species in Genus Lotus L

抄録

Buffer and water extracted proteins were quantitatively measured by Bradford method (1976) for 18 taxa of five species of genus Lotus. The somatic chromosome number, chromosome length, and chromosome arm ratio were determined. The effect of supernumerary chromosome on protein percentage and an interpretation for the variation in protein quantities between the different taxa of each species were discussed.
