A quantitative categorization of seed storage proteins profiles of 13 genotypes of Solanum lycopersicum L. was performed by Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The banding patterns were characterized by 3 clear distinct zones viz., A, B and C. The unweighed pair group method using arithmetic average (UPGMA) analysis of 13 tomato genotypes was done and two major clusters obtained through seed protein analysis expressed better grouping of genotypes. The dendrogram showed that the genotype EC-519724 was most dissimilar from other genotypes.
