Abstract
Sixty accessions collected from major chickpea growing areas of the Punjab along with two check varieties were investigated for principal components analysis based on agronomic characters and seed proteins. Seed proteins were analyzed through slab type SDS-PAGE using 11.25% Polyacrylamide gel and 6 ml of sample quantity. First three principal components with eigenvalues more than 1 contributed 88.58% of the variability amongst 62 genotypes evaluated for 11 quantitative traits, whereas PC4 to PC11 were less than unity. All the characters under study contributed genetic variance positively towards PC1 except days to flowering where it was negative. Eight characters (branches, pods per plant, pods per branch, seeds per pod
