Abstract

There are difficulties in the morphological classification of two populations of Hedysarum pogonocarpum Boiss. in Turkey. Isozyme electrophoresis was employed to examine the genetic structure relationships of these two populations of H. pogonocarpum. Alcohol dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycomutase isozymes were analysed by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis among the progeny grown from seeds collected from the Malatya and Kahramanmaras regions where it is the natural range of H. pogonocarpum.
