Abstract: | Leaf isoenzymes of Pericopsis mooniana from twenty-one trees at forest plantation were evaluated for their use in identification of elite trees among heterogeneous
population. Trees were grouped morphologically, before leaf extracts were separated by one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis. Isoenzyme analysis were carried out for peroxidase, esterase, alcohol dehydrogenase, formate dehydrogenase,
acid phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, leucine aminopeptidase, phosphoglucoisomerase,
phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, and shikimate dehydrogenase. From the thirteen enzymes studied only four
gave distinct banding patterns. Level of significance of appearing particular band for each enzyme of a given category was
investigated using χ2-test, followed by cluster analysis for categorization. The isozyme type A of formate dehydrogenase showed promising results
that could be used for differentiating trees of categories investigated.
