Title: Characterization of Cherimoya Germplasm with Isozyme Markers
Authors: F. Perfectti and L. Pascual
Abstract:
Isozymes have been used as genetic markers to characterize more than 200 cherimoya and atemoya (A. cherimola × A. squamosa) accessions from the worldwide collection of cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill)
germplasm at the C.S.I.C. Estacion Experimental "La Mayora" (Spain). These accessions have been incorporated into this collection from both the original species range (Peru and Ecuador) and the main producing regions (Bolivia, California, Chile, Israel, Madeira, Spain). We studied 13 enzyme systems encoded by
23 loci.
Fifteen loci displayed polymorphism.
The allozymes identified allowed us to genotype the cultivars,
to differentiate 95% of them, and to address the possible origins of those cultivars with identical isozyme
profiles.
The atemoya and cherimoya cultivars showed clear isozyme differences based on alleles specific
to atemoya.
