Abstract
With the release of Monarch cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.), which has greatly facilitated stand establishment when compared to older cultivars, the desirability of a method for identifying seed of cultivars was recognized. An SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic method was developed to differentiate cicer milkvetch cultivars. Densitometric scanning of the resultant polypeptide banding pattern on the polyacrylamide gel provided identification of seed lots of the cultivars Oxley, Lutana and Monarch produced in several different years and locations.Key words: Astragalus cicer L., forage legumes, seed proteins, varietal purity
