Abstract
In a study of aqueous extracts of seeds from 7 cutivars belonging to 5 races of Sorghum bicolor subsp. bicolor (bicolor, caudatum, durra, guinea, kafir) each cultivar yielded reproducible characteristic patterns of distinct acidic and basic proteins. Cultivars belonging to the same race produced identical protein and isoenzyme patterns. Bicolor, caudatum, durra and guinea produced very similar acidic and basic protein patterns and esterase, MDH and peroxidase isoenzyme patterns. Differences, however, were observed among all races. All of the kafir patterns were significantly different from the patterns of other races. It was concluded that comparative electrophoresis may provide a new source of taxonomic characters for investigating phenetic and phylogenetic relationships in Sorghum
