Summary
Zymograms obtained by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1.) and aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1.) from 5 different soybean-Nicotiana hybrid cell lines showed enzymatic characteristics derived from both parents. Variations in the zymogram of the cell lines were observed during a culture period of 8 months (more than 100 generations). These variations may be related to chromosomal loss from the hybrid, particularly those of the Nicotiana parent.
