Abstract

Clusterbean varieties, viz. RGC 936, RGC 986, RGC 1003, RGC 1033, RGC 1055, RGC 1059, were distinguished by SDS-PAGE profiles of seed proteins. The band profile for one variety was clearly distinguishable from another. Such a biochemical approach offers a useful and rapidly performed adjunct to the more traditional methods of varietal identification in clusterbean.
