Abstract

Sixteen groundnut cultivars were assessed for protein (seed and hypocotyl) and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) polymorphism. Seed protein profiles produced six (S1-S6) electrophoretic phenotypes compared to three (G1-G3) of GOT, while, hypocotyl proteins produced twelve (H1-H12) electrophoretic patterns. Individually, the seed and hypocotyl proteins can identify three and nine cultivars, respectively. However, combination of protein (seed and hypocotyl) and GOT isozyme profiles differentiated all the sixteen cultivars.
