Identification of wheat and barley cultivars by gradient acrylamide gel electrophoresis — a note

The electrophoretic protein patterns from grain of some important wheats and barleys in New Zealand were compared to test their use in distinguishing the cultivars. All of the 9 wheats examined appeared to be identifiable as each had a different protein pattern. Six of the 12 barley cultivars appeared to be identifiable, the other 6 had very similar patterns.
