ISOZYME SURVEY OF VARIOUS SPECIES OF PRUNUS IN THE SUBGENUS AMYGDALUS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Seventeen isozyme systems were surveyed in clones of almond (Prunus dulcis Webb), P. davidiana (Carr.) Franch., P. kansuensis Rehd., P. mira Koehne, peach (P. persica (L.) Batsch), and P. persica ssp. ferganensis, all members of the subgenus Amygdalus. Nine systems, representing 16 presumptive loci, stained consistently to characterize. Three of these presumptive loci were monomorphic, while the other 13 presumptive loci were polymorphic for 36 possible alleles. The significance of these results relative to the genetic mapping of peach is discussed. 1990.
