The present studywas aimed to illustrate the isoperoxidase banding profile for some species of Pteris from India. The standard technique of vertical poly acrylamide gel electrophoresiswas employed to demonstrate the banding profile and the gels were stained for isoperoxidase enzyme system. In this enzyme system, a total of thirty eight bands were scored in thirty one different positions with eight active zones. The present study revealed the biochemical positions of the Pteris complex. The similarity index and variations between these five species are reported with reference to isoperoxidase profiles.
