The genetic polymorphism revealed by biochemical markers (protein and isozymes) in plant population have been extensively used to, assess the genetic variability, confirm hybridity of F1s, assure purity of cultivar and establish relationship between species. Electrophoretic protein analysis holds potential utility in breeding programmes of wheat through helping in the unequivocal characterization of varieties used. Sixteen wheat genotypes along with their 32 F1’s were characterized by using protein profile polymorphism in seeds through SDS-PAGE. The total number of bands varied from 9-17 with arrange of 3000 kd to 20,100 kd. The similarity coefficient ranged from 0.985-0.632 among parental lines. The dendrogram constructed on the basis of similarity coefficient clearly divided the genotypes into two major clusters. In most of the crosses the protein profile was more likely to the maternal parent with few bands from the male parent. Presence and/or absence of unique bands were also recorded in crosses which might be because of cis/trans regulation for gene expression and protein synthesis.
