Abstract Enzyme heterogeneity in relatively pure extracts has been demonstrated for many plants (44), particularly through the application of gel electrophoresis techniques. Isoenzyme heterogeneity was discerned first in esterase and lactate dehydrogenase (27), and implications of this heterogeneity have excited interest in many areas of the biological sciences. We will discuss in this paper some areas in the horticultural sciences in which protein electrophoresis appears to have significant practical and basic research applications.
