Patterns of cathodic and anodic isoperoxidases from finger millet varieties, which were either resistant or susceptible to blast disease, were obtained at different stages of seed germination. The isoperoxidase patterns showed marked changes during the course of germination and clear differences were found in the isoperoxidase patterns of three resistant and three susceptible varieties. Thus, it may be possible to use the electrophoretic method as a rapid screening technique to differentiate between finger millet varieties resistant and susceptible to blast disease.
