Netra and Prasad, 2007). In the present study also, a
wide range of protein peptides (low to high molecular
weights) showed the potential for discriminating rice
genotypes and can create additional variability to
supplement existing germplasm. The information
gathered from cluster analysis could further be useful
to identify contrasting parents which may further be
useful in hybridization programmes (Maity et al.,
2009). In conclusion, this investigation revealed
moderate amount of genetic variation with reference
to the total seed protein profiles, among the rice
genotypes used in this study. Hence, it is highly
important to include a significant number of rice
genotypes to explore their genotypic diversity for
future drought breeding programme in rice.
