Popis: An antiserum specific for the legumin and vicilin of Vicia faba was used to examine extracts of seeds of taxa of the Fabeae and Trifolieae for the presence of related storage proteins, Proteins related to legumin were found to be widely distributed, indicating considerable conservation of the genetic information for this protein. Only Pisum sativum contained a protein immunochemically identical with the vicilin of V. faba; the equivalent proteins of all other genera tested here were immunochemically different from vicilin.
