[Study of the alcohol-soluble protein of corn by electrophoresis in PAAG]

An electrophoretic study of zein in 115 lines of common maize resulted in detecting 7 types of spectra. The analysis of opaque-2 sources showed that they differ between each other in the number and component composition, similar to the norm. The study of isogenic lines revealed that in different genotypes the gene opaque-2 behaves unsynonymously: it either does not influence the component composition of zein or changes it qualitatively.
