Relative shifts in mobility in anionic peroxidase isoenzymes between stem base and apex of flax genotrophs

Anionic peroxidase isoenzymes, separated on acrylamide gels, were examined in two flax genotrophs and in their reciprocal F₂ hybrids. Isoenzyme 1 exhibited a significant difference in R_m between stem base and apex and there was a gradient of decreasing R_m and activity between base and apex. Isoenzyme 2 displayed only the activity gradient. The parents differed significantly in the R_m's and activities of isoenzymes 1 and 2, and the F₂'s showed complete dominance of the L parent for R_m, with activities being approximately intermediate.
