Abstract

The peroxidase isozyme pattern of leaf, pistil and pollen of citrus cultivars, differed greatly and no correlation could be established between vegetative and generative tissue of compatible or incompatible one. No specific peroxidase band could be ascribed in the transmitting tissue of the self-incompatible Pant lemon-1, and therefore, direct role of peroxidases in the pollen-pistil interactions could not be established. Therefore, peroxidases are probably not involved in controlling the incompatibility reaction in, since no new peroxidase isozyme specific for self-pollinated Pant lemon-1 styles (incompatible combination) could be assessed.
