Abstract: Isozymes of peroxidase from different sexual asparagus (Asparagus offictinalis L.)plants were analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The result showed that, with the exception of roots, the enzyme diversity on scaly leaf, stem apex and cladode appeared in both male and female plants, and the enzyme bands in male plants were less than that in female plants. The isozymes of peroxidase on callus and stern apex from tissue culture showed same result as above. The results indicated that sex of asparagus plants has relationship with their enzyme patterns. Therefore, the latter can be used to identify sex of asparagus plants.

Key words: Asparagus, Male plant, Female plant, Isozymes of peroxidase
