Protein spectra from 6 species of Gossypium were obtained by disc electraphoresis of seed extracts. Protein extracts were made by soaking 0.5g. of seed in 15ml of Tris-glycine buffer for 24 hours. Gels 24 hours. Gels were stained in 0.5% Amido Black solution for 1 hour, and destained in 7% acetic acid for 72 hours. Nine to 15 bands were visible in each gel. Homologies of Protein bands among the species were determined by migration velocity. Evidences obtained from electrophoretic separation of seed Protein were consistent with those from genetic, cytological, morphological and Phenogenetic methods regarding the origin of New World cultivated cottons. Possibility, however, does not exist to exclude Gossypium herbaceum from one of the Progenitors of New World cultivated cottons from electrophoretic evidences alone.

춘파2조, 춘파6조 급 춘파6조대맥의 각:5품종 계 15품종의 종자단백질을 disc electrophoresis에 의하여 분리하고, 그 결과를 사진, densitometric tracing 급 모식도로 제시했다. 품종에 따라 18∼21 bands를 식별할 수 있었다. 품종은 각각 고유의 pattern을 보이고 있어, electrophoretic patter이 각품종의 유전적 차이를 반영하는 것이라고 생각된다. 추파대맥은 전부 희박한 B2 band를 갖이고 있고 춘파대맥은 농후한 B2 band를 갖이고 있었으며, 또 B2 band는 대파대맥에서, B3 band는 춘파대맥에서만 볼 수 있어, 춘파대맥과 추파대맥을 electrophoretic pattern에 의하여 구별할 수 있었다.
