Studies on the proteins of five varieties of kodo millet showed that there are hardly any varietal differences. Fractionation of the proteins showed that glutelin is the major storage protein. The amino acid compositions of the protein of the five varities of kodo millet and the individual protein fractions of two varieties were determined. Lysine is the most limiting amino acid followed by methionine and cystine. There is no significant negative correlation between lysine levels and protein content. Sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns indicate great similarities in the different varieties.
