Abstract

Of the 14 isozyme loci scored in Cucumis melo, 11 were monomorphic and 3 polymorphic with two alleles at each locus. Genetical studies proved monogenic nature of inheritance of the alleles at all the three loci. While PRX2a was completely dominant over PRX2b, the two alleles at GOT2 and EST1 showed codominant reaction.
