Verification of the authenticity of the hybrid origin of progeny from interspecific or intergeneric crossing in introgression studies in plant improvement is essential before usage of such progeny. This study undertook to determine whether isozyme phenotypes verified the hybrid origin of apparent crosses between a clone of Erianthus arundinaceus (Retz.) Jeswiet and several Saccharum spp. hybrid clones. Starch gel electrophoresis was used to resolve 18 isozyme systems for markers that would distinguish E. arundinaceus from Saccharum spp. hybrid clones. Eight isozyme systems revealed 16 bands that were present in E. arundinaceus but absent from the sugarcane parents. When a population of putative E. arundinaceus × Saccharum spp. hybrid progeny was screened using these isozyme systems, none of the clones expressed the bands characteristic of E. arundinaceus. Thus, their intergeneric nature was disproven.

Verification of cultivar identity is essential in routine plant breeding and associated research. The current study aimed to determine if scoring of isozyme phenotypes resolved with starch gel electrophoresis would provide a cheap, useful method of identifying sugarcane clones. One hundred Saccharum spp. hybrid clones selected at random from the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations's (BSES1s) parental germplasm collection at Meringa were surveyed for 20 enzyme systems. Fully expanded leaf or non-chlorophyllic leaf spindle tissue of field grown plants was used. Three enzyme systems (alcohol dehydrogenase, peroxidase and phosphoglucomutase) jointly yielded 11 reliable, inter-clonally variable markers. Isozyme variability in the population sample surveyed was lower than had been observed in earlier studies of progenitor Saccharum spp. The remaining enzyme systems were invariant or could not be scored reliably. An average of 3-52 band differences per pair allowed separation of 97% of all possible pair-wise combinations. Complete discrimination of clones cannot be achieved with these markers, but they are reliable for checking identity of suspected mislabelled clones.

Isozyme patterns and their genetic control in three Centrosema species are described. Seven isozymatic systems (aspartate aminotransferase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, phosphoglucomutase, anodal peroxidase, malate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase) were studied in 18 populations and several breeding lines of C. acutifolium, C. brasilianum and C. pubescens, using starch gel electrophoresis techniques. All systems, except glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, are described for the first time in these species. A total of 17 isozyme loci were scored; this represents the largest set of Mendelian loci known up to now in Centrosema species. Isozyme polymorphism and variability within and between populations and species were relatively high and allowed discrimination among species

ABSTRACT Runtunuwu, S.D. and E.F. Lengkong. 2005. Identification of Isozyme Markers (PER-7, PER-8, and RAPD OBI7375) of Dwarf Salak Coconut (GSK) and its Tall Hibrids. Eugenia 11 (1): 8-17. The objective of this research was to identify PER-7 and PER-8 isozymes, and OB17 375 RAPD as molecular markers for resistance to NF Phytophthora disease in Genjah Salak (GSK) dwarf coconut and its several hybrids with Tall coconut at The Research Institute for Coconut and Palmae (RICP) Manado. Coconut resistance to NF Phytophthora disease was determined based on disease lesion size of inoculated coconut fruits at 7 days after inoculation. PER-7 and PER-8 isozymes marker were identified using horizontal starch gel electrophoresis, and OB17375 RAPD marker was identified based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using kit B number 17 primer (Operon Technologies, California). PER-7 isozyme marker could be used to select GSK x DTA (Dalam Tenga) and GSK x RLT (Rennell Tall) hybrid coconuts that resistant to NF Phytophthora disease. PER-7 isozyme without OB17375 markers (PER-7/-) could be used to select resistant GSK x WAT (West African Tall) hybrid coconut to the disease. Keywords: Isozymes, RAPD, Molecular marker, Phytophthora disease, coconut

ABSTRACT The genetic variability at enzyme loci in different triploid and tetraploid parthenogenetic weevil populations has been elucidated by starch gel electrophoresis. The overall genotype of individual weevils belonging to different populations has been determined for over 25 loci. The results are compared with those obtained for diploid bisexual races of either the same or closely related species. The variation within a parthenogenetic population differs from that in diploid, sexually reproducing populations, i.e. the allele frequencies are not in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The results indicate that apomictic parthenogenetic populations can differentiate genetically. The genotypes within a population resemble each other more than genotypes belonging to different populations. It is evident that evolution still continues-even if slowed down—in parthenogenetic weevils. A comparison between the allele relationships in geographically isolated polyploid parthenogenetic populations and related diploid bisexual forms does not support the hypothetical hybrid origin of parthenogenesis and polyploidy in weevils. Parthenogenesis within a parthenogenetic weevil species is evidently monophyletic.

SummaryWhen urea or ε-amino caproic acid were used as solublizing agents for plasminogen in electrophoretic experiments, only one broad band of the proenzyme was obtained on acetate cellulose, in starch block, and in acrylamide gel. In starch gel electrophoresis, however, both forms of plasminogen – the native or euglobulin and Kline’s or Pseudoglobulin plasminogen – separated into six bands. These migrated toward the cathode at room temperature in borate or veronal buffer in the alkaline range and showed full activity in fibrinagar-streptokinase plates.

ABSTRACT The isozymic patterns of tyrosine aminotransferase, NADP malate dehydrogenase, NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase, and tetrazolium oxidase were examined by starch-gel electrophoresis in Tetrahymena pyriformis, syngen 1. The genetics of the alleles controlling these enzymes was studied through a breeding program. Each enzyme locus was shown to assort vegetatively, as do other loci in this organism. A detailed analysis of the assortment process for the tyrosine aminotransferase locus indicated that the rate of stabilization of heterozygotes into pure types was essentially identical to previously-reported rates for other loci.

By varying conditions of starch gel electrophoresis, factors contributing to the resolution of myogen proteins from chicken breast muscle have been studied. Variables examined included composition of the myogen extractant, protein concentration, ionic strength of electrophoretic media, pH of gel media, plane and direction of electrophoresis, and the nature of cations and anions in gel media and bridge solutions. The significance of anions was more closely studied with constant buffer systems, and gradient systems in which bridge electrolyte differed from, and gradually altered, the gel medium. Optimal separation was obtained in gradient systems with 0.10 M sodium chloride bridge solutions, and gel media of sodium cacodylate, pH 6.9, μ 0.010, which resolved 12 cationic zones, and sodium veronal, pH 7.4, μ 0.010, which resolved 10 anionic zones. These buffers in two-dimensional sequence revealed a total of about 24 components in this myogen.

Examination of 17 presumptive gene loci by starch-gel electrophoresis revealed differential mobilities only at acid phosphatase-1, alcohol dehydrogenase, esterase-1, and phosphoglucomutase between Nocomis biguttatus and N. micropogon. No intraspecific variation was observed for any loci. The genetic identity (I) and genetic distance (D) were 0.874 and 0.134, respectively. The correlation of electrophoretic mobilities and nuptial tubercle pattern in sexually dimorphic males supports the present taxonomic distinction of these species and provides a simple, unambiguous means of identifying any individuals.Stepwise discriminant function analysis of a series of mensural characters was used to compare fish identified as to species by electrophoresis. At best this correctly assigned fish to their respective species in 85.7% of cases, with a probability of misclassification of 0.1335.This study suggests these two are sibling species, based on a comparison of biochemical and morphological differentiation.
