Abstract:ABSTRACT. Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) isozymes were used as biochemical markers to discriminate and cluster cladophylls of plants of one clonal population of the prickly pear, Opuntia ficus-indica (Cactaceae). The isozyme electrophoretic patterns obtained with MDH provided 8 isozymes and 5 different electrophoretic phenotypes. Similarity in cladophylls was estimated using Jaccard's coefficient. This clonal population studied was founded by only one propagule, and after 50 years, it is likely to have been formed… Show more
