Abstract

In this investigation 38 potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes were used for morphological characterization and tuber protein electrophoresis. Results indicated that all 38 genotypes could be categorized into 14 distinct groups consisting of morphologically almost identical genotypes. The morphological ambiguity was distinguished through electrophoregrams emphasizing presence or absence and intensity of bands. For example, the electrophoregram of morphologically similar genotypes Kufri Lalima and JP-100 were quite distinct in regard to B3, B4, B6 & B7 that were additional in JP-100. Similarly, other genotypes with common morphology could be differentiated. The protein bands in molecular weight range of 68 kD-40 kD exhibited maximum variability across the genotypes. The tuber protein profiles of all randomly sampled tubers in lot of each genotype were identical. Thus, the SDS-PAGE of tuber protein appeared as a good tool for genetic analyses, breeding, establishing relationships, classification and testing of genetic purity in potato.
