Abstract 7S/11S seed globulin ratios were determined for sevencurrently available Amaranthus hybrid linesi.e., Amaranthus K266, K283, K343, K432, K433,K436 and MT-3. Of the seven Amaranthus linesinvestigated, four lines had 7S/11S globulin ratiosranging from 0.47 to 0.81, while three lines werefound to contain exclusively the 11S globulin form. In general, 7S globulins contained lower levels ofessential amino acids such as tryptophan, methionine,lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, valine andisoleucine than the 11S globulins.
