Biochemical characterization of two sibling species in the liverwort Pellia epiphylla(L.) Corda(hepaticae, pelliaceae)

摘要

Two sibling species in the Pellia epiphylla(L.) Corda(n=9) complex, pellia epiphylla sp. N and pellia epiphylla sp. S were compared in their protein concentration and in the dynamics and also in relative activity of some enzymes: malate Dehydrogenase(MDH), esterase(EST), peroxidase(PX) and aspartate aminotransferase(GOT). Serological properties of Their antigens were studied as well. Activity of malate dehydrogenase, esterase and aspartate aminotransferase was signifi- Cantly higher in clons of Pellia epiphylla N than pellia epiphylla S.
