Pg. 5-7 The use of Isozyme Analysis for Differentiation Between Litchi Cultivars

Polymorphic isozyme banding patterns of phospho-glucose isomerase (PGI), triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) were obtained from leaf extracts of 19 litchi cultivars and six vegetative selections. Differences were sufficient to distinguish between most cultivars. The six vegetative selections could, however, not be distinguished from the mother plant.
