Polymorphism and genetic control of some isozyme systems in mutant sunflower lines

Cytology and Genetics 2006, v 40, number 2, 27-33

Polymorphism of six isozyme systems (ME, EST, 6-PGD, AAT, ACP, IDH) of sunflower mutant inbred lines has been studied. It was shown that only three of them were polymorphic (ME, EST, 6-PGD). Two isoforms were observed for each polymorphic enzymic zone. Genetic control of malic-enzyme has been studied and it was determined that the identified polymorphic zone of the enzyme was controlled by one gene. The genes of malic-enzyme synthesis, anodal esterase and 6-phosphogluconatdehydrogenase are inherited independently.
