Abstract
The present study reports some chemotaxonomic characters in 12 species of the genusPennisetum (Poaceae). Distribution pattern of 3 biochemical constituents, viz. phenolic compounds, proteins and esterase isozymes were studied in the leaves of the 12 species, using paper chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A total of 15 phenolic compounds, 23 protein bands and 19 esterase bands were observed in all these species. Data on these 3 chemotaxonomic characters were subjected to cluster analysis which resulted in grouping the 12 species into 5 clusters.
