Variation among maize (Zea mays L.) accessions of Bendel State, Nigeria

Abstract: SummaryVariability in maize zein protein band mobilities in sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was characterized to classify 27 maize accessions (OTUs) collected from Bendel State, Nigeria. The classification of the OTUs was achieved using two numerical procedures: average linkage cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA).Five clusters were delineated by the cluster analysis whereas the PCA complemented the cluster analysis by separating the OTUs with yellow ker… Show more

“…PCA has been also applied in toxicological studies by the groups of Amin [34], Heijne [35] and Anderson [36] and to classification studies in the field of food quality control (coupled to cluster analysis and discriminant analysis): papers are present in literature about cheese classification [37] and identification of the protein content in wheat and bread [38][39][40].…”

“…Different algorithms can be used as a measure of similarity, giving different cluster methodologies, i.e. k-means clustering [58], complete linkage clustering [34], ascendant hierarchical clustering [128][129][130], descendant hierarchical clustering [129], and average linkage cluster analysis [54]. The most similar objects/variables, and successive groups of objects/variables, are aggregated into new groups.…”

“…Two of the first applications of multivariate techniques to proteomic datasets in botany and in the field of food quality and control were by Dewettinck et al (1997) and Alika et al (1995). In these applications, the samples were not described by the spot volumes (the authors applied SDS-PAGE) but by the volume profile along the SDS strip.…”

“…Another study by Alika et al (1995), was devoted to the characterisation of 27 maize accessions (Bendel State, Nigeria) through the different band mobility of maize zein protein in SDS-PAGE, coupled to PCA and cluster analysis. Cluster analysis identified five clusters while PCA separated the accessions with yellow kernels from those with early maturity.…”
