Abstract
An investigation was carried out to study the biochemical
and molecular characterizations of 18 different genotypes of
grain amaranth procured from various research stations viz. 15
genotypes from NBPGR (New Delhi), two from GAU
Sardarkrushinagar and one from Mandore (Rajasthan). These
genotypes were screened through analysis of proximate
composition for various biochemical parameters, isozymes study,
seed protein analysis through SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and
RAPD analysis. Biochemical analysis was carried out for %
moisture from seeds as well as flour, TSS, starch, total crude
protein, oil, FAA, minerals like calcium, sodium and potassium,
various isozymes viz. esterase, peroxidase and acid phosphatase
and seed protein through electrophoresis
