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 by asexual and sexual propagules. Since that differential expression of MDH isozymes could play a significant role in overall plant cell metabolism, we suggest that the cladophylls of prickly pear that were clustered together showing identity or higher similarity are specially a suitable source for industrial procedures of industrial extraction of commercial interest compounds because a same extraction protocols can be most quickly and easily standardized using genetically uniform materials. Electrophoretic patterns of MDH isozymes can be used as an effective tool for previously determine the genetic similarity in the cladophylls of O. ficus-indica plants
