A SHORT NOTE - GENETICS OF ENZYME VARIANTS IN AUSTROCEDRUS-CHILENSIS (ENGL) FLORIN AND BOUTELJE

Inheritance of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glutamate-oxaloacetate t ransaminase (GOT), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), isocitrate dehydrogen ase (IDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH), phosphoglucomuta se (PGM), shikimate dehydrogenase (SKDH), and superoxide dismutase (SO D) was analyzed in Austrocedrus chilensis using megagametophytes of si ngle trees. Single locus control is proposed each for IDH, LAP, SKDH, and SOD. GOT is controlled by at least three gene loci. Two gene loci probably code 6-PGDH. Genetic pattern of multiple-banded MDH remains s till uncertain, since electromorphs were only found at one zone.
