The genus Astragalus are widely distributed in Turkey and have various taxonomic problems.<br />

The aim of this present work was to study the phylogenetic relationships of the taxa of Incani<br />

section in genus Astragalus. Unique pattern of protein bands of total seed storage protein<br />

obtained from thirtysix taxa was investigated by using SDS-PAGE. Phylogenetic<br />

relationships were displayed in NJ (Neighbor-joining) tree.<br />

The taxa were grouped on three main clads. The first clad composed of A. micrancistrus<br />

Boiss. &Hausskn.; and second clad composed of A. olurensis Podlech, A. germanicopolitanus<br />

Born., A. frickii Bunge, A. nezaketae A.Duran & Aytaç, A. longisubulatus Podlech, A.<br />

czorochensis Charadze, A. zaraensis Podlech, A. polhillii Podlech, A. edinburghensis Ponert,<br />

A. achundovii Grossh, A. clavatus DC., A. sigmoideus Bunge, A. brachycarpus M. Bieb, A.<br />

spruneri Boiss., A. schizopterus Boiss., A. turkmenensis Dural, A. latifolius Lam. and A.<br />

glaucophyllus Bunge, and third clad composed of A. fodinarum Bunge, A. campylosema Boiss<br />

subsp. atropurpureus (Bunge & Heldr.) D.F. Chamb, A. campylosema Boiss subsp. nigripilis<br />

Hub.-Mor. & DD Chamb., A. campylosema Boiss subsp. campylosema Boiss, A. yildirimlii<br />

Aytaç & M. Ekici, A. sanguinolentus M. Bieb, A. cinereus Willd., A. tigridis Boiss., A.<br />

scabrifolius Boiss A. cariensis Boiss, A. elongatus Willd subsp. elongatus Willd, A.<br />

elongatus Willd subsp. nucleiferus D.F Chamb., A.subrobustus Boriss., A. humillimus Freyn,<br />

A.ancistrocarpus Boiss. & Hausskn., A. brevidentatus Podlech, and A. geocyamus Boiss.<br />

According to the matrix of genetic distance, the lowest values were between A.<br />

sanguinolentus and A. duranii (0.017). From genetic distance value and NJ tree, it may be<br />

concluded that A. . brevidentatus and A. geocyamus belong to same species . Our findings<br />

from this study indicated that seed storage protein profiles could be useful markers in studies<br />

of phylogenetic relationships of the genus Astragalus.<br />
