          out for 24 hr with four changes of water at interval of
        
        
          6 hr. A small quantity of precipitate formed at this
        
        
          stage was removed by centrifugation and supernatant
        
        
          were freezed.
        
        
          The freeze supernatants lyophilized in separate petri
        
        
          plates and dried samples immediately packed in
        
        
          airtight bottles. The known amount of protein
        
        
          dissolved in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and subjected
        
        
          to vertical gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).
        
        
          The variability of seed storage-proteins was analyzed
        
        
          by using SDS-PAGE (Damania et al., 1983).
        
        
          
            1.3 Preparation of separating gel (15% and 10%)
          
        
        
          
            and stacking gels
          
        
        
          The 15% gel was prepared by mixing 20 ml of stock
        
        
          acrylamide solution, 8.0 ml tris HCl (8.9) and 11.4 ml
        
        
          of water. Subsequently 0.2 ml of ammonium per
        
        
          sulphate solution, 0.4 ml 10% SDS and 20 µl
        
        
          Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) was added.
        
        
          The 10% gel was prepared by mixing of 13.3 ml of
        
        
          stock acrylamide solution, 8 ml tris HCl (8.9) and 18.1
        
        
          ml of water. Subsequently 0.2 ml of ammonium per
        
        
          sulphate solution, 0.4 ml 10% SDS and 20 µl TEMED
        
        
          was added. The 3% stacking gel was prepared by
        
        
          addition of 4.0 ml of stock acrylamide solution, 2.0 ml
        
        
          tris HCl (6.7), and 2.0 ml of riboflavin solution and
        
        
          8.0 ml of water. And this solution was mixed with
        
        
          0.1 ml 10% SDS and 20 µl TEMED.
        
        
          
            1.4 Preparation of sample and casting of gel
          
        
        
          Protein sample (48 µl ) was mixed with 12 µl of 4x
        
        
          sample buffer (0.25M Tris-HCl pH 6.8 added with 8%
        
        
          SDS, 40% glycerol, 20%
        
        
          
        
        
          -mercaptoethanol, 0.5%
        
        
          bromophenol blue) and heated in water bath
        
        
          containing boiling water for 2-3 min to ensure
        
        
          complete interaction between protein and SDS.
        
        
          Sample was cooled to room temperature.
        
        
          
            1.5 Data analysis
          
        
        
          The photographs of SDS-PAGE gel was used to study
        
        
          the protein profile of the all genotypes. The bands
        
        
          were designated on the basis of their molecular weight.
        
        
          The presence of protein band was scored as “1” and
        
        
          its absence as “0” (Table1, S-1 and S-2). Only bright,
        
        
          clearly distinguishable bands were used in genetic
        
        
          analysis. In the present study, the population diversity
        
        
          based on SDS PAGE banding patterns was calculated
        
        
          using POPGENE 1.31 (Yeh et al., 1999) software. The
        
        
          data matrices were then entered into NTSYS-PC
        
        
          (Numerical Taxonomy and Multivariate Analysis
        
        
          System Program) developed by Rholf (2000). The
        
        
          data were analyzed using SIMUQUAL Jaccard’s
        
        
          Similarity Coefficients formula (Sneath and Sokal,
        
        
          1973). The matrix of similarity coefficients generated
        
        
          from data of 12 wheat genotypes was subjected to un
        
        
          weighted pair group method for arithmetic average
        
        
          (UPGMA) using NTSYS-PC, version 2.02 (Exeter
        
        
          software, New York).
        
        
          
            2 Results and Discussion
          
        
        
          The variability of seed storage-proteins was analyzed
        
        
          by using SDS-PAGE (Damania et al., 1983). The
        
        
          study comprises characterization of high and low
        
        
          molecular weight glutenin subunits of different wheat
        
        
          varieties by SDS-PAGE and assessment of genetic
