Abstract
Esterase and leucine aminopeptidase zymograms were compared for P. vulgaris and P. coccineus, the interspecific hybrids, their pro-geny, backerosses of the interspecific hybrids and the parental species, and their progeny to determine the inheritance of 2 esterase sites (EST-V, EST-C) and 2 leucine aminopeotidase sites (LAP-V, LAP-C). Genetic data indicated a monogenic basis for these electrophretic variants; LAP-V and LAP-C exhibited codominance and EST-C was dominant. The nature of dominance for EST-C was not investigated. EST and IAP zymograms for 2 amphidiploids involving other species exhibited all the sites found in each parental species.
