CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEIN IN F2 POPULATION OF PAPAYA (CARICA PAPAYA AND VASCONCELLEA CANDAMARCENSIS) CROSS BY SDS-PAGE

Characterization of protein was done in Carica papaya, Vasconcellea candamarcensis and their F₂ population. In the study, two polypeptides bands with Rf (relative mobility) value of 0.09 and 0.21 (corresponding molecular weight of 95 and 70 kDa) were found in the female parent CO 2 whereas, Vasconcellea candamarcensis had the polypeptide bands with Rf value of 0.29, 0.43 and 0.48 (corresponding molecular weight of 56, 38 and 35 kDa). Among the F2 progenies, G 38, G 39, G 45, G 48, G 49, G 50, G 51, G 53, G 54, G 57, G 58 (56 kDa), G 23, G 24, G 25, G 26, G 27 (38 kDa) and G 43 (35 kDa) had registered the polypeptide bands with Rf value of 0.29, 0.43 and 0.48.
