Isozyme and Protein Analysis of Induced Rust Resistant Wheat Mutants

Isozymes and protein banding patterns of eighteen students of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) resistant to rust disease caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm were investigated. The results showed that the mutants were different in the isozymes GOT, LAP, EST and ACP as well as their proteins. The differences included the number of bands, Rf value and intensity on the gel. Such results suggested a high degree of purity and genetic stability of the test mutants.
