ABSTRACT

Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of crude extracts of disease-free and Didymascella thujina-infected foliage of western red-cedar revealed differences in several protein bands and suggests that distinct proteins of D. thujina origin can be identified by SDS-PAGE.
