Abstract: Two chemotypes of Cinnamomum tenuipilum Kostern are involved in this study. The essential oil from leaves in one type is composed principally of geraniol, and in the other, it is very rich in linanol. Their progeny was obtained by open hybridization. However the main composition of essential oil from the progeny is methyleugenol or elemicin, quite different from that of the parents. Isoperoxidase exhibited little variation among progenies. In addition, enzyme extraction and preparation available for electrophoresis are studied and discussed in this paper. Viscous extracts of the leaves treated by an enzyme give a satisfactory result for isozymes banding.
