STUDIES ON INHERITANCE OF SOME ISOZYMES IN LENTIL (LENS CULINARIS) M. EHTISHAM-UL-HAQ, M. MUNIR, BASHIR A. MALIK AND NASIR M. MINHAS
Abstract: Inheritance of three isozymes i.e., Leucine aminopeptidase-1, Phosphoglucoisomerase-1,
and Phosphoglucomutase-2 in lentil was investigated. The plants were
grown in greenhouse and the isozyme analysis was done by starch gel
electrophoresis. X2 procedure was applied to test
the goodness-of-fit for the observed and hypothesized ratios. All the
three isozymes showed a monogenic inheritance pattern with co-dominant
alleles for fast and slow allozymes. Heterozygous plants can be recognized
at early stages and selfed plants may be discarded immediately. Their
use in lentil improvement has been discussed. Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. |
