  • Title: Potential of two-dimensional electrophoresis in routine identification of closely related durum wheat lines.
    Author: Picard P, Bourgoin-Grenèche M, Zivy M.
    Journal: Electrophoresis; 1997 Jan; 18(1):174-81. PubMed ID: 9059841.
    Abstract:
    Four closely related durum wheat varieties were compared by computer-assisted analysis of two-dimensional electrophoretic maps of leaf proteins. A low inter-varietal polymorphism was revealed and seven reliable qualitatively varying proteins allowed rapid visual identification of genotypes. For numerous spots, presence/absence or quantitative variations were greatly affected by a batch effect. Several criteria that should be used to discard unreliable spots or gels a priori were reviewed. Nevertheless, it was shown that, provided that the experimental design allows the integration of the batch effect, screening for discriminant markers as well as computing distances based on protein quantity variations are possible and allow variety identification. Euclidean and Mahalanobis distances allowed variety discrimination and single gel classification with a minimum risk of error, not only by taking into account the quantitative variations in discriminant proteins selected by analysis of variance, but also by taking into account all reproducible spots. The possible applications of two-dimensional electrophoresis in variety identification are discussed.
