Electophoretic analysis of 27 karyotypes of V. faba minor has been carried out in order to study the influence of chromosomal changes on seed proteins. The results show that: 1) 28 out of 40 bands are responsible for qualitative differences; 2) chromosomal changes affect the protein profile in a negative direction (reducing the number of bands) but may increase variability by producing new proteins; 3) quantitative differences are evident but not always strong enough to be used for karyotype identification. Cluster analysis of the 40 bands show that: 1) each profile is different from the others; 2) primary karyotype rearrangements are very distinct from each other; from the standard and the other variants; 3) apparently secondary and tertiary rearrangements tend to group according to chromosomal segments involved and to be distinct from the standard.

Abstract
Electophoretic analysis of 27 karyotypes of V. faba minor has been carried out in order to study the influence of chromosomal changes on seed proteins.

Cluster analysis of the 40 bands show that: 1) each profile is different from the others; 2) primary karyotype rearrangements are very distinct from each other; from the standard and the other variants; 3) apparently secondary and tertiary rearrangements tend to group according to chromosomal segments involved and to be distinct from the standard.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
