Diversity of sainfoin (Onobrychis Mill.) collection samples according to the spectra of storage proteins

Abstract

Sainfoin (Onobrychis Mill.) is a valuable forage plant of the legume family (Fabaceae). In Kazakhstan the sainfoin introduced as field fodder in the 50s of the XX century and because of its biological features widely spread as a promising crop for forage resources increasing. The electrophoresis of seed storage proteins of Onobrychis viciifolia, Onobrychis arenaria and Onobrychis transcaucasica species was carried out. Considerable diversity of the number, mobility and intensity of components was determined.
