Starch gel electrophoresis of enzymes from the mangrove trees Ceriops tagal (Perr.) C. B. Robinson var. tagal, Ceriops tagal (Perr.) C. B. Robinson var. australis C. T. White, and Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou in northern Queensland, Australia, revealed a uniform genetic structure within taxa, but high levels of genetic divergence among taxa. No more than 20% of enzyme phenotypic characters were shared by any pair of the taxa, and patterns of enzyme phenotypic variation consistent with hybridisation among them were not seen in any samples, including those from areas of spmpatry. This evidence of reproductive isolation is considered sufficient to accord species status to C. tagal var. australis.* Aust. lnst. Marine Sci. Contrib. No. 453.

Embryos and megagametophytes of open-pollinated seed of 37 white spruce (Piceaglauca (Moench) Voss) trees from a seed production area were analyzed by starch gel electrophoresis to determine the genetic structure and mating system over 2 seed crop years. Analysis of four polymorphic enzyme loci (Gdh, Idh, Pgm, and Pgi-2) for spatial and temporal genetic structure and mating system indicated substantial deviations from the random mating model that is assumed when open-pollinated families are designated as half-sibs.

<em>Eriocaulon bilobatum</em> is an aquatic species that inhabits temporary wetlands in central Mexico. It is annual, herbaceous, emergent, with sexual and asexual reproduction, monoecious and insect pollinated. It is a rare and vulnerable species due to its endangered habitats. The objectives of this study were to determine the diversity and genetic structure of <em>E. bilobatum </em> and to know if there is a correlation with genetic diversity and its ecological and life history traits. Using horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis, we screened 160 individuals from four populations. <em>E. bilobatum</em> has a higher genetic diversity (A=2.32, Ae=1.31, P=69.65, Ho=0.134, He=0.197, HT=0.221) than species with similar ecological and life history traits, moderate levels of inbreeding (FIS = 0.312) and low genetic differentiation among populations (FST = 0.053 y GST = 0.048). Its diversity and genetic structure are determined by the mating system and life history traits, more than by inhabiting aquatic environments.

Genetic Comparison

Sand fance (Genus Ammodytes) collected from four stations off Japan and one station at Kodiak, Alaska were genetically characterized at 17 protein coding loci using starch-gel electrophoresis. Sand lance in Wakkanai (Cape Soya, Japan) consist of two genetically distinct groups. They are fixed for different alleles at four loci (Ldh-2, -3, G3pdh-2, and Mdhp-2). The genetic structure of one of the groups (Wakkanai-a group, W-a) is similar to that of A. personatus around Japan. The other group (Wakkanai-b group, W-b) has different genetic structure from either A. personatus or the Alaskan collection, which is presumed to belong to A. hexapterus. It is not presently possible to identify the affiliation of the W-b group; however, despite its sympatry with the W-a group, it is reproductively isolated and therefore is probably a distinct species occurring northeast of Hokkaido.

Abstract Starch gel electrophoresis has shown that natural populations of Fundulus heteroclitus have electrophoretic variants for at least 21 loci. We provide inheritance data for 10 polymorphic systems: esterases (Est-B, EST-C, and Est-D); aspartate amlnotransferases (Aat-A, and Aat-B); mannosephosphate isomerase (Mpl-A); acid phosphatase (Ap-A); phosphoglucomutase (Pgm-B); hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6pdh-A); and fumarase (Fum-A). Variants for nine of these loci segregate as autosomally inherited codominant alleles. The other system, EST-C, does not reflect such inheritance. We have identified two possible linkage groups: H6pdh-A may be loosely linked to Pgm-B, and Fum-A appears to be linked to Pgm-A. Tissue specificity and intracellular localization for all these loci are also presented.

SummaryWhen urea or ε-amino caproic acid were used as solublizing agents for plasminogen in electrophoretic experiments, only one broad band of the proenzyme was obtained on acetate cellulose, in starch block, and in acrylamide gel. In starch gel electrophoresis, however, both forms of plasminogen – the native or euglobulin and Kline’s or Pseudoglobulin plasminogen – separated into six bands. These migrated toward the cathode at room temperature in borate or veronal buffer in the alkaline range and showed full activity in fibrinagar-streptokinase plates.

ABSTRACT The isozymic patterns of tyrosine aminotransferase, NADP malate dehydrogenase, NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase, and tetrazolium oxidase were examined by starch-gel electrophoresis in Tetrahymena pyriformis, syngen 1. The genetics of the alleles controlling these enzymes was studied through a breeding program. Each enzyme locus was shown to assort vegetatively, as do other loci in this organism. A detailed analysis of the assortment process for the tyrosine aminotransferase locus indicated that the rate of stabilization of heterozygotes into pure types was essentially identical to previously-reported rates for other loci.

By varying conditions of starch gel electrophoresis, factors contributing to the resolution of myogen proteins from chicken breast muscle have been studied. Variables examined included composition of the myogen extractant, protein concentration, ionic strength of electrophoretic media, pH of gel media, plane and direction of electrophoresis, and the nature of cations and anions in gel media and bridge solutions. The significance of anions was more closely studied with constant buffer systems, and gradient systems in which bridge electrolyte differed from, and gradually altered, the gel medium. Optimal separation was obtained in gradient systems with 0.10 M sodium chloride bridge solutions, and gel media of sodium cacodylate, pH 6.9, μ 0.010, which resolved 12 cationic zones, and sodium veronal, pH 7.4, μ 0.010, which resolved 10 anionic zones. These buffers in two-dimensional sequence revealed a total of about 24 components in this myogen.
