G. Tedesco et al., A CHEMOTAXONOMIC INVESTIGATION ON VITIS-VINIFERA L .3. CHARACTERIZATION OF VITIS BIOTYPES VIA ROOT APEX PROTEINS, Vitis, 36(2), 1997, pp. 85-89
Soluble proteins from root tips were used as biochemical markers to st
udy, taxonomically and systematically, Vitis biotypes. Analyses of tot
al proteins in the pH range 3.5-10 and of the enzymes AcP, ADH, EST, P
GM and POD indicate that only in the case of proteins and AcP the stai
ning intensity of all samples and the variation of band pattern is tax
onomically informative. A comparison between seed storage proteins and
root tip proteins and an automatic data acquisition system is include
