Evidence for duplicate genes coding for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in rye

Abstract
SUMMARY: The 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD) E.C. no. 1.1.1.44, zymogram phenotypes of wheat–rye addition lines and triticale were determined. Genes involved in the production of 6-PGD were located on the long arms of C and F chromosomes of Imperial Rye and the long arms of II and IV chromosomes of King II rye. The results indicate that this enzyme is a dimer.
