Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation North American tuber-bearing Solanum species show a greater number and diversity of antigens than South American species.
- Observation At least one identical antigen was found in all Solanum species studied.
- Observation Some antigens were consistently present in all species of certain series.
- Observation Three fast-moving antigens had different but characteristic relative mobilities among species of series Bulbocastana and Pinnatisecta.
- Observation Solanum moreUiforme is distinct from all other potatoes.
- Observation Solanum clarum is more closely related to S. bulbocastanum and subsp. ehrenbergii than to S. tuberosum.
- Observation Extracts of S. polyadenium reacted more strongly with the antisera than species of series Bulbocastana and Pinnatisecta (first two antisera) and Longipedicellata and Demissa (other antiserum).
- Observation Solanum polyadenium may hold an intermediate position between the two major species groups, having group-specific antigens from both.
