Abstract

Seed  collected  from twenty three  single trees  from different  parts  of the   country   were   used   in  this   study.  After   seed   storage   protein extraction,    SDS-PAGE    method    of   electrophoresis      was   used   to investigate  existing genetic variation  between  the  mentioned  genotypes, in protein's  macromolecule level. Performing  electrophoresis, fixing and staining     the   electrophoresis  gel  and  protein   bands,   presence   and absence  of the  particular  bands  along the  gel was studied.
Although, significant differences were not observed between the genotypes  of each  species based  on  the  protein  bands  to  be  used  for genotype   classification  within  the  species,  but  significant  differences were   observed   between    the   two   species,   Haloxylon persicum, H aphyllum.
