Comparative analysis of seed proteins in 10 cultivated genotypes (Amygdalus dulcis (L.) Miller) and 2 wild almonds (A. scoparia Spach & A. lycioides Spach) in Esfahan province
Abstract
Seed protein analysis was performed among 10 cultivated genotypes (Amygdalus dulcis (L.) Miller genotypes: Moheb Ali, Safari, Yarollahi, Mamaei, Rabee, Kababi, Tageri, Hag Mirzaei, Talkheh and Azar) and 2 wild species of almond (Amygdalus scoparia Spach & A. lycioides Spach var. horrida (Spach) Browicz), from Esfahan province, in order to illustrate their interrelationships. All together, 18 protein bands were obtained, some of which were common in all species and cultivated genotypes. Some bands were occurred only in a single cultivated genotype or species, while, some others occurred in all local genotypes, but not in the wild species. The obtained data were analyzed through cluster analysis via UPGMA method and Euclidean distance coefficient, and through Principle Components Analysis (PCA). The results revealed that some local cultivated genotypes were similar, such as a close relationship was detected among the genotypes Safari, Yarollahi and Mamaei, as well as among Tageri, Hag Mirzaei and Kababi. Different patterns of protein bands were also observed between the genotypes and the wild species. As a result, the role of seed protein criteria in the genetic variations among studied genotypes and wild almond was discussed.
