    Notes: A rapid and efficient procedure for large-scale analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments in the range of 200-3000 base pairs is presented. The procedure is based on horizontal ultrathin-layer multi-zonal (HUME) electrophoresis of PCR fragments in polyacrylamide gels followed by silver staining. HUME gels can be prepared rapidly using a simple procedure called the flap technique. The electrophoretic set-up allows the use of multi-channel pipettes for sample loading. Separation and detection of the PCR fragments from sample preparation to silver staining can be carried out in 2 h. Using four electrophoresis units, one technician can analyze 400 PCR fragment samples in 2 h.

    Notes: The genetic variability of eight carrot populations representing commercially important morphological types was analyzed for seed protein polymorphism by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis using immobilized pH gradients (IPG) in order to assess the potential of both techniques in carrot hybrid breeding as well as genetic quality testing of carrot trade seeds. The digitized silverstained one- and two-dimensional gels of the urea/detergent-soluble seed proteins were subjected to computer analysis to estimate both the inter- and intrapopulation genetic variability. The results indicated that isoelectric focusing (IEF-IPG) of seed proteins is a powerful tool for quick screening of the genetic variability present between and within carrot populations, while two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (IPG-DALT) can be employed to establish detailed genetic relationships of carrot populations selected by initial IEF-IPG screening in order to use genetic distant and homogeneous populations for successful carrot hybrid breeding. However, the applicability of IEF-IPG in genetic quality testing of carrot seeds seems to be restricted to hybrid purity testing. IPG-DALT is a far more powerful tool to profile unambiguously all carrot varieties commercially used in order to test the genetic quality of trade seeds, because this technique exhibits protein spots or spot combinations exclusively found in each of the eight varieties investigated.

    Notes: During the past ten years we have been engaged in developing and applying isoelectric focusing techniques to test the genetic quality of vegetable seeds. We started with isoelectric focusing using carrier ampholytes (IEF-CA), and continued research with isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradients (IEF-IPG) and two-dimensional electrophoresis (IPG-DALT). In addition, we have developed equipment and procedures for large-scale seed and seedling homogenization, sample preparation and semi-automatic gel staining. Moreover, we have optimized the sample application and gel running setup for large-scale analysis. We have developed hybrid purity (inbred) testing methods for all important vegetables, e.g., melon, cole crops, tomato, pepper, watermelon, squash, cucumber, radish etc. using either IEF-CA or IEF-IPG of seed or seedling proteins, followed by specific or general protein staining. To indicate the efficiency of the equipment and procedures developed we present results of two of our hybrid purity test methods, namely for brassica using polymorphism for phosphoglucomutase (PGM) from dry seeds, and for tomato using polymorphism for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from imbibed seeds. We show that one person can routinely analyze 1536 individual seeds per day at a cost of about US $0.11 per seed for chemicals, materials, and electrophoresis equipment.

    Notes: Different types of electrophoretic procedures were developed for hybrid purity testing based on starch gel electrophoresis (SGE), vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and isoelectric focusing (IEF). For the most important vegetables these methods are much faster than plant grow-outs and relatively inexpensive. Compared to SGE and PAGE methods, horizontal IEF proved to be more efficient for large-scale hybrid purity testing. These developments were made possible by the basic work of Harry Rilbe and improvements that were initiated as a result of Rilbe's work. The present paper describes a number of milestones during this developmental period, starting with the isoelectric focusing concept of Harry Rilbe up to the large-scale application of IEF. Further, a comparison of IEF with DNA fingerprinting methods along with the future of both techniques is discussed with respect to hybrid purity testing in the vegetable seed industry. When it comes to a choice between the use of either IEF or a DNA-based method, efficiency and efficacy determines the method which is best suited for hybrid purity testing. It is also concluded that in the future we will see an increased use of both IEF as well as DNA-based methods for hybrid purity testing because expectations of growers has increased; consequently they will accept fewer inbreds in a hybrid variety, especially when growing in a greenhouse.

    Notes: The genetic variation of 10 morphologically similar pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) inbred lines has been analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradient (IPG-DALT) of seed proteins. For all pairs of inbred lines genetic distance indices were calculated on the basis of the IPG-DALT analysis and a genetic tree was constructed. The protein polymorphism data of the 10 inbred lines were integrated into a pepper breeding program to validate the assumption that there is a higher chance of achieving better hybrid performance when the genetic distance between the parents is as great as possible. Field trials were performed in Turkey and consisted of a total of 27 crossings based on 9 inbred lines. Fifteen hybrids exceeded the crop yield of the better parent and 8 additional hybrids exceeded the mean crop yield of both parents. The genetic distance indices of the parental inbred lines based on protein polymorphism data were not significantly correlated to heterosis performance of the experimental hybrids (r = 0.20), indicating that protein polymorphism data add little to the prediction of single cross hybrid performance. Nevertheless, protein polymorphism data support the breeder in being more effective in finding out the best inbred combinations, because most of the less promising crossings can be omitted from the expensive and time-consuming performance tests. Those hybrids whose distance indices exceeded the mean of all 27 distance values (0.52) were superior to the mean value of all heterosis performances by 19%. Moreover, 11 out of 15 hybrids having distance indices higher than the mean of the 27 crossings exceeded the mean of all heterosis values (304 g), but only 5 hybrids out of 12 showing distance values below the mean exceeded the overall mean of heterosis performance. We conclude that IPG-DALT can be used as an efficient tool in vegetable hybrid breeding.
