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<br />
Hypoglottidei section in genus Astragalus. Unique pattern of protein bands of total seed<br />
storage protein obtained from seventeen taxa was investigated by using sodium dodecil<br />
sulphate-polyacrylamid gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Phylogenetic relationships were<br />
displayed in NJ (Neighbor-joining) tree. The taxa were grouped on two main clads. The first<br />
clad composed of A. melanocarpus Bunge, A. hartvigii Kit Tan., A. saganlugensis Trautv. and<br />
A. akmanii Aytaç & H. Duman; and second clad composed of A. vexillaris Boiss., A.<br />
scholerianus Bornm., A. ovatus DC., A. viridissimus Freyn & Sint., A. dasycarpus D.F.<br />
Chamb., A. cedreticola A. Duran & Podlech, A. lasioglottis M. Bieb, A.oreades C.A. Mey, A.<br />
viciaefolius D.C., A.sachanewii Sirj., A.bachmarensis Grossh., A. cicer L. and A. flaccidus<br />
M. Bieb. According to the matrix of genetic distance, the lowest values were between A.<br />
viciaefolius and A. flaccidus (0.125), A. viciaefolius and A. sachanewii (0.167), A. dasycarpus<br />
and A. sachanewii (0.194). From genetic distance value and NJ tree, it may be concluded that<br />
A. flaccidus and A. viciaefolius belong to same species and similarly A. dasycarpus and A.<br />
sachanewii as well. Our findings from this study indicated that seed storage protein profiles<br />
could be useful markers in studies of phylogenetic relationships of the genus Astragalus.<br />
