Abstract: | The polypeptide composition of Fraction I protein from Nicotiana digluta, a synthetic species which arose by chromosome doubling following the interspecific hybridization of N. glutinosa and N. tabacum, has been examined by isoelectric focusing. The composition of the protein from N. digluta, which was identical to the protein from the infertile F1 hybrid N. glutinosa x N. tabacum, showed 3 polypeptides in the large subunit and 4 polypeptides in the small subunit. The large subunit polypeptides were identical to those from N. glutinosa, the maternal parent in the original hybridization, whereas the small subunit polypeptides were a composite of the small subunit polypeptides from both N. glutinosa and N. tabacum. This analysis demonstrates how the polypeptide composition of Fraction I protein evolves during the origin of new species of Nicotiana. |
