SDS-PAGE seed protein analysis was performed among 15 populations of 8 Lotus species of Iran in order to illustrate the species interrelationships. In total 29 bands were obtained some of which were common in all species and populations therefore may be considered as common bands in Lotus species studied. Some bands occurred only in a single species while some others differed among populations of a single species. Cluster analysis of the Lotus species based on protein data grouped different populations of each species in a distinct cluster indicating the species distinctness and also supported the species interrelationships observed by morphometric studies.
