Starch gel electrophoresis was used for isozyme analysis of ADH, GDH, MDH, IDH, and ME in populations of amaranth. Experiments were performed with 93 populations and 4 cultivars. Some populations proved to be polymorphic, and this fact allowed analysis of the genetic control of the enzymes listed. The populations examined showed poor allozyme variability. Monomorphism for all loci studied was observed in 73 populations and 4 varieties. Only some populations demonstrated rare polymorphism for a single locus each: Adh, Mdh 2, Gdh, Idh 1, Idh 2, or Mod 2. The results demonstrate genetic monomorphism of amaranth for the studied loci.
