Abstract
The seed proteins of Trigonella foenum-graecum, T. berythaea, T. macrorrhyncha and T. gladiata were fractionated on polyacrylamide gels in anodic and cathodic systems. Similarity indices between the profiles of any two species indicated close affinity between T. gladiata and T. macrorrhyncha and between T. foenum-graecum and T. berythaea. It has been pointed out that according to morphological resemblance and similarity index of the seed protein profile T. berythaea is closer to the cultigen than any other species of section Foenum-graecum, but these two species are strongly isolated from one another by the albino seedlings of their F1 hybrids.
