Electrophoretic analyses of non-reduced and reduced seed storage proteins from 34 cultivars of Capsicum annuum L. were performed on two gel systems. On the basis of clearly expressed difference in electrophoretic profiles of non-reduced proteins, the investigated cultivars were divided into two groups. The two observed phenotypes were genetically determined and related with intermediary subunits of 11S globulins and/or their oligomers.

Keywords: acidic and basic polypeptides; electrophoretic spectra; intermediary 11S subunits; oligomers; pepper
Subjects: Capsicum annuum; intermediary 11S subunits; pepper, acidic and basic polypeptides; seed storage proteins; storage proteins, seed
