Summary Mummenhoff, K. & Zunk, K.: Should Thlaspi (Brassicaceae) be split? Preliminary evidence from isoelectric focusing analysis of Rubisco. ‐ Taxon 40: 427–434. 1991. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. Relationships among taxa of Thlaspi sensu lato were tested by isoelectric focusing (IEF) analysis of Ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). 14 species were studied, belonging to 3 of the genera previously segregated by Meyer on the basis of seed anatomy. Differences in Rubisco IEF patterns resulted in a grouping of the species into three clusters which are consistent with the respective genera of Meyer.
