Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, phospho-gluco isomerase, and peroxidase in Higo chrysanthemum were electrophoretically analyzed in order to provide information for cultivar identification.
In all the 3 enzymes of the 29 cultivars used, a high degree of polymorphisms in isozymes were observed and each cultivar showed different zymogram from every other cultivar. In some cultivars zymograms exhibited the same numbers and positions of bands but had different staining intensities. Therefore, isozyme analysis of these 3 enzymes is available to identify the cultivars. It will be pratically useful for the advancement of the preservation, propagation, and breeding of Higo chrysanthemum cultivars.
