During present study, the hemiparasite, Dendrophthoe falcata (L.f) Ettingsh var. pubescens (Hook. f) belonging to family Loranthaceae, associated with different hosts were collected from in and around Yeoor hill, Thane. The samples were analyzed for total protein content, and in addition protein profiling was carried out. The molecular weights of the proteins were determined using SDS-PAGE technique. The results revealed that the proteins with molecular weight 14.3kDa, 14.5kDa, 17kDa, 24kDa and 43kDa were common in all samples under investigation, suggesting presence of similar proteins of in different plant species.
