Differences in tomato seed protein profiles obtained by SDS-PAGE analysis
Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Food, Skopje, Macedonia (1,2,3,4)
The protein profiles of tomato seeds from sub-species ( subsp. cultum Brezh., subsp. subspontaneum Brezh. and subsp. spontaneum Brezh.) were analyzed using SDS-PAGE technique. Electrophoreograms and denzitograms of total, soluble and non-soluble proteins of 31 different samples have showed quantitative and qualitative differences. Qualitative differences in electrophoregrams of total seed proteins refer to protein fragments in zone A (114 kDa, 83 kDa and 65 kDa) and protein fragment in zone C (17 kDa). Qualitative differences in electrophoregrams of soluble seed proteins refer to protein fragment in zone A (94 kDa). Qualitative differences in electrophoregrams of nonsoluble seed proteins refer to protein fragments with molecular weights of: 210 kDa, 85 kDa, 67 kDa and 26 kDa.
