Summary

Soluble protein, esterase and peroxidase isoenzyme pattern were studied in anthers of diverse sorghum male steriles and their maintainers. Soluble protein pattern of sterile and corresponding maintainer line showed qualitative and quantitative differences. Based on esterase isoenzyme pattern the diverse male steriles and maintainers could be classified in three groups. Peroxidase pattern also showed characteristic but not so clearcut differences.
