Abstract
The article presents data on the protein content in the above-ground parts of plants of 86 samples of 16 wild species of the legume family growing in natural habitats in the Far East and Eastern Siberia. The studied species were Lathyrus davidii, L. humilis, L. japonicus, L. komarovii, L. palustris, L. pilosus, L. pratensis, L. quinquenervius, Thermopsis lupinoides, Vicia amoena, V. baicalensis, V. ohwiana, V. pseudorobus, V. subrotunda, V. unijuga, V. venosa. As a result, a great diversity was revealed in terms of protein content in plants. The variability of this character reliably depended both on the belonging of the sample to a particular taxon and on its origin. The best protein content (> 20%) were found in the species: T. lupinoides, V. amoena, V. venosa and L. davidii and in populations – V. pseudorobus from China (> 26%), L. japonicus from Popov island and Khasansky district (> 25%), V. baicalensis from Irkutsk region (> 20%), L. pilosus from the Kamchatka Peninsula (20%).
