Object To discuss the correlation and difference of physiological and biochemical charaeteristic among the plants of the
tribe Areae in genotypes, to provide seientific evidences for the classification and identification of their consanguinity Methods
Protein electrophoresis analysis in the
fresh tuber of 29 samples from 11 species, 5
varieties, 1 new form of the tribe Areae in Zhejiang Province was done by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis Based on the 49 numerical characters obtained from their
electrophoretograms, cluster analysis of the plant was carried out in single linkage method Results The electrophoretograms of the same species were quite similar, but those of the different species were clearly distinct from each other Conclusion 1 The protein electrophoretograms of these plants exhibited certain reliability and stability. 2. The results of protein analysis were accordance with those from the classical taxonomy on the while 3 Pinellia longitubulosa H X Sun should be estabilshed as a new species P peltata Pei var chunarensis H X Sun and Arisaema hunanense Hand. Mazz var ningpoense H X Sun should be considered as new varieties, respectively, their electrophoretograms were obviously different from those of original varieties Arisaema
sikokianum Franch et Sav , A sikokianum Franch et Sav var serratum Makino H Li should not be kept as independent varieties, which should be incorporated with A sikokianum var. henryanu.
