Notes:
Mitochondrial and chloroplastic proteins of the three sections Vulgares, Corollinae and Procumbentes of the genus Beta were analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS. Most of the chloroplastic or mitochondrial polypeptides are common to the three sections, but some are present in one section only. Thus their presence in an individual allows it to be assigned to a section. The variation of chloroplastic and mitochondrial poly-peptide profiles of closely related species has not been frequently reported. Thus the question arises about the differentiation of these species and subspecies. We found that table beets display polypeptides present either in the Vulgares or in the Corollinae, and consequently they probably result from an old hybridization.
