A. Ranieri et al., 2-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROPHORESIS OF THYLAKOID PROTEIN-PATTERNS IN 2 WHEAT CULTIVARS WITH DIFFERENT SENSITIVITY TO SULFUR-DIOXIDE, Electrophoresis, 16(7), 1995, pp. 1301-1304
Plants of two wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L., cultivars Mec and
Chiarano), differing in sensitivity towards sulfur dioxide, were fumi
gated with 96 nL L(-1) of SO2 for four months. Thylakoid membranes wer
e subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis in order to detect poss
ible changes in the protein patterns. We found the greatest alteration
s following treatment in the polypeptide profiles of the most sensitiv
e cultivar, Mec, even if some significant changes were also detected i
n the plants of the cultivar Chiarano.
