Genetic Studies On Some Quality And Protein Characters In Field Beans (Vicia Faba L.)

The composition of the various polypeptide fractions and subfractions constituting the seed proteins has been given special consideration in the present study . For this purpose , the SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Elecrophoresis) technique was applied to differentiate between the cultivars , the mutants and F1 hybrids derived from them . These studies would furnish more informations about the manner of transmission of genes controlling these protein fractions from parents to offsprings , and to relate protein quality with various cooking quality characters.
