ABSTRACT
Caesalpinia ferrea var. Leyostachia and Cassia grandis are important species for obtaining and propagating seedlings for reforestation in degraded areas, but rare is the information about those species in the literature. This study was carried out to estimate the genetic diversity between individuals of C. ferrea and between individuals of C. grandis. The enzymes used were the following: Alcohol Dehydrogenase, Esterase, Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transaminase, Peroxidase and Glucose Dehydrogenase. Only three of the systems presented activities and the Esterase system presented a higher number of bands. Differentiated patterns between C. ferrea individuals and between C. grandis individuals were observed, thus, permitting to infer that there is genetic diversity of individuals.
