Abstract

Molecular polymorphism of phaseolin, the major storage protein of Phaseolus vulgaris L., and structural homology of its subunits were investigated. A high degree of charge heterogeneity was evidenced by isoelectric focusing. Comparison among phaseolins isolated from seven different cultivars showed genetic variability both in isoelectric focusing pattern and subunit composition. However tryptic peptide maps of these phaseolins were very similar. The three phaseolin subunits isolated from cultivar Greensleeves were compared by peptide mapping after limited enzymatic digestion and had very similar primary structures.
