POLYMORPHIC ISOZYME LOCI IDENTIFIED IN PISUM
Weeden, N. F.
NYS Agricultural Experiment Station Geneva, NY 14456 USA
Scandalios and Espiritu (8) first identified polymorphism in pea aminopeptidases in 1969 and demonstrated that this polymorphism was produced by allelic variants at two independent loci. Since that time over 60 additional allozyme polymorphisms have been reported in Pisum, exposing genetic variation at 50 or more structural genes. Table 1 lists the polymorphic isozyme loci for which the allelic nature of the polymorphism has been demonstrated by segregation in F2 progenies. Not all of the supporting data have been published in PNL or other jour­nals. However, appropriate segregation data will be forthcoming once the approximate chromosomal location of the respective locus has been determined. When more than one locus designation has been published in the literature, priority generally has been given to the term used with the first published segregation data. Exceptions include (1) the leucine aminopeptidase loci first published as Amp-1 and Amp-2 (reference 8) but which have become more commonly referred to as Lap-1 and Lap-2, (2) cases where synonoray probably exists but has yet to be confirmed (e.g. Amy) , and (3) cases in which the original designation has been modified by the initial investigator(s) (e.g.
Pgd-p). Additional work is still required on amylases and esterases to resolve questions of synonoray, particularly for Amy and Es.

a - Linked to Wsp. There is some debate as to whether Wsp belongs on 1inkage group 7.
b - Linked to Rrn-2, believed to be the nucleolar organizer region on chromosome 7. However none of the more traditional chromosome 7 markers (R, Tl, Bt, Wsp) exhibit linkage to Rrn-2.
c - Tentative assignment .
In order to complete this summary of isozymes in pea, a second table has been prepared (Table 2). This table contains isozyme varia­tion which has yet to be confirmed as allelic polymorphism.
