Male gametophyte (pollen) isozyme profiles of P. deltoides, P. nigra and their hybrids, and of P. maximowiczii were compared with those of the sporophyte (roots). Fifteen enzyme systems were resolved by starch gel electrophoresis for each species and hybrid, and a total of 51 encoding genes were observed. In P. deltoides, P. nigra, P. deltoides × P. nigra, and P. maximowiczii, respectively, 74, 80, 74, and 76% of the structural genes coding for these enzymes in the sporophyte were also found to be expressed by the male gametophyte. Most of the genes tested were found to be expressed after meiosis, apparently transcribed and translated in the haploid genome.Key words: gene expression, gametophyte, sporophyte, Populus, isozymes.

Mycelial extracts of 43 isolates of Suillus tomentosus (Kauffm.) Singer, Snell & Dick collected from four boreal forest regions in Alberta were subjected to starch gel electrophoresis. A total of 21 bands was resolved from eight different enzyme systems presumably representing 13 loci. Six loci were polymorphic among these isolates. Cluster and principal components analyses demonstrated that intraspecific genetic variability of this fungus existed among and within forest regions. Polymorphic loci of acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase exhibited the greatest genetic similarity among the isolates within forest regions. Habitat isolation and host selection could be the major sources of genetic variation among forest regions.

Gutierrezia Sarothrae

Broom snakeweed, a perennial rangeland shrub, is highly variable morphologically and can grow under a broad range of environmental conditions. In this study, isozyme analysis using starch gel electrophoresis was used to quantify genetic variability within and among New Mexico populations of broom snakeweed. Eight separate populations of broom snakeweed and one population of threadleaf snakeweed as a comparison were investigated. of the 10 enzyme systems examined, 16 loci were identified in eight populations and two species. Eleven loci were monomorphic in eight populations and two species and five loci were polymorphic in at least one population or species. Genetic variability was large in broom and threadleaf snakeweed populations as determined by isozyme analysis. Genetic variability among broom snakeweed populations was greater than that within populations for the five polymorphic loci. Cluster analysis of genetic distance and identity for the eight populations and two species characterized two major groups. Within broom snakeweed, cluster analysis characterized five groups. The two species shared most common alleles. The genetic variation identified in this research may account for the morphological differences and broad geographical distribution of broom snakeweed.

Growth Habits

Starch gel electrophoresis was used to screen 10 enzyme systems for variation in fountain grass, Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. plants exhibiting four different growth habits: dwarf(d), mound(m), prostrate(p), and upright (u). Only phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI; E.C. 5.3.1.9) was found to be polymorphic at one locus, PGI-2, and was expressed as two alleles, which appeared to be associated with growth habit. The dwarf form expressed one slow band (SS), the mound and prostrate forms exhibited one fast band (FF), and the upright form carried triple bands indicating a heterodimer (FS). Hybrids between FF and SS parents were detected as triple bands (FS). Three generations of progeny resulting from 16 crosses and selfs of these growth habits all followed the expected segregation ratios for typical Mendelian inheritance of this isozyme.

The usefulness of isozyme banding patterns as genetic markers in kiwifruit [Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson] was investigated using starch gel electrophoresis. Fifty-four entries putatively belonging to seven female and two male kiwifruit cultivars were examined for 13 enzyme systems (AAT, ACO, GDH, G6PDH, IDH, MDH, ME, MNR, NDH, 6PGD, PGI, PGM, and SKDH). Four enzyme systems, ACO, MDH, NDH, and SKDH, showed identical banding patterns in all clones surveyed. Of the remaining enzymes, AAT, PGI, and PGM had the best discriminating power. Six enzyme systems (GDH, G6PDH, IDH, ME, MNR, and 6PGD), though showing polymorphic banding patterns, were poorly resolved. All the New Zealand cultivars were uniquely identified by the simultaneous comparison of the AAT, PGI, and PGM zymograms. Some enzyme systems were also polymorphic among plants within the same cultivar, thus proving the heterogeneity of kiwifruit material introduced into Europe in the early 1970s.

Isoenzyme variants withinCupressus sempervirensL. planted in Israel have been identified using starch gel electrophoresis of enzymes extracted from the megagametophytic and perisperm seed tissue. Single-tree cone collection from 493 trees growing in 27 populations at holy sites and in plantations planted at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in the country was done in 1986–1987. In 1994 viable seeds were available from only 267; of them, 140 trees were phenotypically identified as var.pyramidalisand 67 as being of var.horizontalis; the other 60 trees were not identified phenotypically. The results gained show that in the plantedC. sempervirensL. under investigation 11 (47.8%) out of the 23 gene loci in 13 enzyme systems analyzed were polymorphic; they contain a relatively high gene diversity of 0.479. The genetic distance between the two varieties planted in Israel is 0.007. Differences in allele frequencies between the two varieties occurred only in 5 loci, viz., IDH2PGI2, MDH3, PGM1, and ACO1.

Isoenzyme Patterns

Observation of the mycelial aspect of five isolates representing the fîve races of Venturia inaequalis indicates that it is possible to differentiate these isolates by their growth pattern and the isolate of race 3 appears to be the most easily distinguishable. Fifteen enzyme systems and non-specific proteins have been analyzed by polyacrylamide and starch gel electrophoresis. Thirteen of the isoenzymes systems and non-specific proteins showed no variation among the five isolates. Esterases isoenzyme patterns allow separation of the isolates since only one isoenzyme is common to all isolates and two others are shared by isolates of race 1 and 5. One carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme was observed to be specific to the isolate of race 2.

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was used to study the inheritance of isozyme phenotypes of four enzyme systems [alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), and shikimate dehydrogenase (SKDH)] in Allium fistulosum L. by monitoring segregations in backcross and F2 progeny. Segregation for most of the polymorphisms fit the expected Mendelian ratios as tested by the chi-square statistic. Three new isozyme loci were defined for onion. Two loci were found for 6-PGDH. Locus one was dimeric with two alleles, and locus two was monomorphic. SKDH was monomeric with two alleles.

Subterranean clover burrs were collected during summer from 28 sites, 10 of which were in the <500 mm annual rainfall zone. All sites had been sown to the Dwalganup strain, 30-50 years ago. Spaced plants were grown from seed from burr subsamples of each population. Several morphological characters, flowering dates, and oestrogenic isoflavones in late spring leaf samples were determined. At maturity, burr samples were collected from each plant, and the isozyme patterns in seeds were determined for eight enzyme systems using starch gel electrophoresis. Populations from the lower rainfall (< 500 mm) sites usually consisted of one or two strains - Dwalganup with or without Geraldton - and variant (or 'unknown') genotypes were very rare or absent. Populations from the higher rainfall (> 500 mm) sites, on the other hand, comprised about 50% of a few known strains - mostly Dwalganup and/or Dinninup - the remaining 50% consisting of numerous variant genotypes. Infrequent outcrossing between the Dwalganup and Mt Barker strains is the likely major source of this variation. Possible explanations for the lack of variant genotypes in the lower rainfall zone are discussed.

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis of enzymes was used to study genetic divergence among Populus deltoides Marsh. (section Aigeiros Duby, Salicaceae), P. nigra L. (section Aigeiros), and P. maximowiczii Henry (section Tacamahaca Spach.) at 37 to 40 allozyme loci coding for 12 enzyme systems in root tips. These three Populus species were genetically distinct from each other. Populus deltoides, P. nigra, and P. maximowiczii had mutually exclusive alleles at two loci, and each of these species had unique alleles at many loci. Certain allozyme loci were detected only in one or two of these species. Frequency distributions of allozyme loci were bimodal with respect to genetic identity for comparisons between any two species. The mean genetic distance was 0.36 ± 0.10 between P. deltoides and P. nigra, 0.39 ± 0.09 between P. deltoides and P. maximowiczii, and 0.34 ± 0.10 between P. nigra and P. maximowiczii. The enzyme electrophoretic evidence indicated a monophyletic origin of the three Populus species.Key words: poplars, genetic identity and divergence, allozymes, molecular evolution, phylogenetics.
