Phylogenetic aspects of storage seed protein analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that both the desi and kabuli types are the varieties of the same species Cicer arietinum L. and corroborated the earlier findings that there is no evidence to classify kabuli types as Cicer kabulicum. The results indicated that all the four varieties have very great homology, the number of bands resolved was 9 in each case and the pattern was also the same except minor differences in position and distance of bands.
