| Abstract: | Abstract Legumin-like proteins from Ephedra distachya, Ephedra foeminea, Gnetum gnemon, Gnetum montanum and Welwitschia mirabilis and four Angiosperms (Magnolia grandiflora, Pisum sativum, Glycine max and Cucurbita moschata) were used in a serological investigation. The immunological tests demonstrate the heterogeneity of Gnetopsida and indicate discriminative correlations of Welwitschia, Gnetum and Ephedra to the examined Angiosperms. |
