Abstract
Electrophoretic patterns of malate dehydrogenase (Mdh), alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh), and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (Pgd) of Zea mays L. × Tripsacum dactyloides L. hybrids and their parents were compared. The components of enzymes specific to T. dactyloides may be used as markers to identify the following T. dactyloides chromosomes in the hybrids: Tr 16 (Mdh 2 and Pdg 1), Tr 7, and/or Tr 13 (Adh 2). The isozymes of Mdh 2 are supposed as a possible biochemical marker to evaluate the introgression of genes, determining an apomictic mode of reproduction from T. dactyloides (localized on Tripsacum 16 chromosome) into Z. mays. The isozymes may be used as markers for the identification of maize chromosomes 1 and 6 in the hybrids as well. Chromosome count taken on the examined hybrids showed the addition of 9 to 13 chromosomes of T. dactyloides to maize chromosome complement.
