Comparative Electrophoresis of Isozymes of Cucumis Species

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:39 (article 36) 1978 J. T. Puchalski, R. W. Robinson, and J. W. Shail New York Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY 14456 Electrophoretic patterns of esterase, peroxidase, and leucine aminopeptidase of 24 different Cucumis species were compared. Large differences between several species were found for all these enzyme systems, but some other species […]
