Abstract
Allozyme variation of leucine aminopeptidase, glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase and phosphoglucosisomerase was examined in C. fremontii, a species widely distributed in the western USA. Plants in the northern part of the range (western Nebraska, Wyoming, northern and western Colorado and Utah) differ from those in New Mexico, Arizona and California in allelic frequencies at 1 gene for phosphoglucosisomerase and 1 gene for glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase. The 3 populations from southern California are fixed for a transaminase allele that was not demonstrated to be prsent elsewhere. Allelic variation was encountered in 6 of 40 populations, and 13 individual plants, each with 1 heterozygous locus, were found.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
