Plant kingdom exhibits wide range of diversity, mulberry is a such plant exhibits relatively different protein content between the genotypes. Proteins in the mulberry directly correlate with the silk protein in the silkworm Bombyx mori. There were eight colchitetraploids and their putative diploids selected, assayed leaf protein spectrophotometrically by using BSA as standard. All the genotypesd selected, exhibited variation in their whole protein content on their maturity, genotypes, ploidy level and in season. This ionformation peovide basic knowledge to select a genotypes for breeding, cytological studies and also pharmaceutical industries.
