Brief description
Populations of Ceriops tagal var. tagal and C. tagal var. australis were sampled from five sites in northern Queensland in 1987. Collections were made from Missionary Bay (April), Port Douglas (July), Lucinda (October) and Cardwell (October). Samples were collected five times between March and December from the same six trees of each variety at Cape Ferguson, to detect seasonal variation in enzyme phenotypes. C. decandra was also sampled from the Murray River, Lucinda and Cardwell. \n\nBranch tips with at least two pairs of fully expanded leaves were collected and the apical buds and their stipules were removed and stored in liquid nitrogen.\n\nTwenty-one enzymes were investigated (AAT, ACON, ACP, ALP, DIA, EST, GDH, G3PD, GPI, G6PD, HK, IDH, LAP, LDH, MDH, ME, PER, 6PGD, PGM, SKDH, TPI). Eleven enzymes were resolved adequately for all samples of the three taxa (AAT, EST, GDH, GPI, IDH, LAP, MDH, PER, 6PGD, PGM, SKDH).Full description
