Abstract
The inheritance of isoenzymes in young coat tissues of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) was studied by electrophoretically analysing five parental clones and their full-sib progenies obtained by crossing one female clone to four male clones. The distal 2cm section of vigorous young roots of 70 seedlings per family were subjected to horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. The resulting gels were tested for activity of 7 enzyme systems. Evidences for the inheritance of isoenzymes observed indicated that the isoenzyme variants of every isoenzyme zone were under control of codominant alleles at a single locus. Chi-square test of joint segregation data of the two loci, 6-PGD-2 and PGI-2, indicated that the pair of loci was not linked.
