Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This research examines the impact of both accelerated and natural aging on the total soluble seed protein profile of wheat (Triticum aestivum). It aims to determine a threshold limit for seed aging, up to which seeds can be used for electrophoretic analysis to differentiate cultivars and assess genetic purity. The study investigates the effects of aging on germination, vigor index, and protein banding patterns in different wheat varieties.

• Impact of aging on seed protein profiles
• Determination of a threshold limit for seed aging for electrophoretic analysis
• Comparison of accelerated and natural aging effects on germination and vigor
• Analysis of protein banding patterns using SDS-PAGE
• Identification of stable protein bands that persist despite aging
