Abstract	There is a need to identify genetic markers that can assist coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) breeding programs. With that objective, electrophoretic patterns of leaf peroxidases, endopeptidases and coomassie blue stained proteins were analysed in four cultivars (‘West African Tall’, ‘Rennell Tall’, ‘Malayan Yellow Dwarf’, ‘Cameroon Red Dwarf’), and in the hybrids PB121 (‘Malayan Yellow Dwarf’ × ‘West African Tall’) and PB111 (‘Cameroon Red Dwarf’ × ‘West African Tall’). The polymorphisms detected fit the expression of two alleles of a dimeric peroxidase, two alleles of a monomeric endopeptidase, and a pair of active and null alleles of a coomassie blue stained protein. Four distinctive genotypes were identified. One for each of the tall cultivars, another for both of the dwarf cultivars, and the last for both of the hybrids. Applications of the markers in breeding programs, and in research concerning reproductive biology and phylogeny, are discussed.
