Abstract:
Protein in seeds of 18 plant types of nine Chinese Vitis species was analyzed via unreduced SDS-PAGE. Relationships among these plants were analyzed using Jaccard's similarity and disparity indices, and cluster analysis. Seed of these plants had one or more main protein components accounting for more than 10% of the seed's total protein. Chinese Vitis plants can be categorized into three groups: 1) the original group, including V. adstricta, V. amurensis, and V. yenshanensis; 2) the moderately evolved group, including V. quinquangularis, V. romanetii, and V. pseudoreticulata; and 3) the evolved group, including V. bryoniifolia, V. piasezkii, and V. davidii. The most original was V. adstricta, and the most evolved V. davidii. The congruence of the analysis from seed protein components with the anatomy and isozyme data studied previously is discussed.
