Simplified but highly reproducible extraction and electrophoretic procedures have been developed for plant stem and leaf proteins using recent chemical and technical advances. The method is applied to the separation of the basic, water-soluble proteins found in stem and leaf tissues of 3 Dianthus clones. While most of the highly reproducible protein bands appear in all 3 selections, and many are also common to both leaf and stem tissue, others are characteristic for the variety or tissue.
