Abstract Aims of the present study were improving the knowledge of taxonomic relationships of some closely related genera of the subfamily Papilionoideae; highlighting their similarities and close affinities; reassessment of their interrelationships based on previous and current systems of classification. This study comprised 36 taxa represented by 31 species; including five genotypes; belonging to 12 genera of the Papilionoideae that were either collected from the Egyptian floristic regions or provided by the Egyptian and German botanical gardens. The study consulted five sources of taxonomic evidence in gaining the characters sets. Each of the following characters were recorded in the studied taxa: morphological features, the seed protein profiles produced by SDS-PAGE, molecular mass (Mr) in kilo-Daltons (kDa) of their polypeptide subunits, the Isozyme bands profile (Zymograms) of the enzymes -esterase (-Est), -esterase (-Est) and alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh); diploid and basic chromosome counts; ISSR-PCR fingerprints of DNA established by Five primers; HB09, HB10, HB13, HB14, HB15 and their molecular mass (MS) in base pairs (bp). |
