The general approach to characterization and evaluation of populations involves cultivation of sub samples followed by investigation of their morphological and floristic description . morphological and floristic study of poplation varianility may be supplemented and usually surpassed by more direct evlluation of the genime by means of the analysis of biochemical markers. These approaches were pursued, using a floristic classification in which the Iranian wheat populations (Triticum thaoudar) fell into seven different groups. Thereafter, intrapopulation and interpopulation seed storage protein banding patterns were analyzed. Banding patterns of intrapopulations were observed to be the same. However , those of interpopulations were completely different, seven groups showing six distinct protein fingerprintings
