COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SIX ISOENZYME SYSTEMS IN SOME SPECIES OF HYOSCYAMUS L., FROM IRAN SHIDEH MONTASSER KOUHSARI, GOLANDAM SHARIFI*, HASSAN EBRAHIMZADEH AND MAHBOOBEH KHATAMSAZ1
Abstract: The electrophoretic patterns of 6 enzyme systems viz., lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), esterase (EST), superoxide dismutase
(SOD), peroxidase (PRX) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) obtained from 15
seed samples (OTUs) belonging to 7 species of Hyoscyamus L.,
from Iran were compared in order to clarify taxonomic relationships
within the genus. Results show that the species. H. tenuicaulis
is completely distinct from the other species. Among the others H.
arachnoideus and H. niger are very heterogenous. H. kurdicus
shows a close relationship to H. niger and H. turcomanicus
is very close to H. arachnoideus. Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.
