Abstract
It has previously been reported that P. typhoides [P. americanum] produces three alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isozymes, sets I, II and III, and that analysis of electrophoretic variants affecting sets I and II led to the identification of the Adh1 structural gene. It is reported here that a naturally occurring variant affecting the electrophoretic mobility of sets III and II but not set I was discovered in strain 74-175. Analysis of this variant confirmed the existence of a second structural gene, Adh2. Crosses using this Adh2 marker revealed that Adh1 and Adh2 are closely linked, unlike maize crosses in which Adh1 and Adh2 segregate independently. The organization of the Adh genes of pearl millet may reflect a more primitive arrangement than that of maize
