Abstract
Forty-one wild types and 41 cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) from Meso-and South America were screened for variability of phaseolin seed protein using one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS/PAGE) and two-dimensional isoelectric focusing SDS/PAGE. Wild accessions from the Andean region showed phaseolin types which had not been previously identified in wild material from that region. Other wild accessions from Argentina exhibited novel phaseolin patterns collectively designated as ‘J’ (‘Jujuy’) phaseolin types, and one accession from northern Peru exhibited a novel phaseolin type, the ‘I’ (‘Inca’) type. The ‘H’ and ‘C’ phaseolins, previously identified only in cultivars, were observed in several wild accessions from Argentina. Among cultivars, two minor variants of the ‘S’ phaseolin type were identified. The ‘Sb’ (‘S Brazil’) was characteristic of a limited number of cultivars from Brazil whereas the ‘Sd’ (‘S Durango 222’) predominated in cultivars of the Mexican central highlands. The distribution of the previously described ‘B’ phaseolin appeared to be larger than formerly known as it extended not only in Colombia but also in Central America. It is possible to correlate the ‘Sb’, ‘Sd’, and ‘B’ phaseolin types with certain agronomic traits.
Resumen
La variabilidad de faseolina, la proteina principal de la semilla, fue analizada en una muestra de 41 formas silvestres y 41 formas cultivadas del fríjol común (Phaseolus vulgaris) de Meso- y Suramérica mediante electroforesis a una y dos dimensiones en gelos de poliacrilamida con dodecil sulfato de sodio (SDS/ PAGE). Las formas silvestres de la región andina enseñaron tipos de faseolina que no habían sido identificados anteriormente en material silvestre de esta región. Formas silvestres de Argentina mostraron varios tipos nuevos de faseolina que fueron llamados tipos ‘J’ (‘Jujuy’) y una accesión silvestre del norte de Peru mostró un tipo nuevo que fué llamado el tipo ‘I’ (‘Inca’). Dentro de las formas cultivadas, dos formas variantes de la faseolina ‘S’ fueron identificadas. El tipo ‘Sb’ (‘S Brazil’) fué característico de un núméro limitado de variedades de Brasil, mientras el tipo ‘Sd’ (‘S Durango 222’) predominaba en variedades del altiplano central de México. La distribución de la faseolina ‘B’ descrita previamente parece ser más amplia que lo que se había determinado anteriormente ya que se encuentra no solamente en Colombia pero también en América Central. Es posible correlacionar los tipos de faseolina ‘Sb’, ‘Sd’, y ‘B’ con ciertos rasgos agronómicos.
