Abstract: Changes in the polypeptide pattern of guava (Psidium guavajava L.) cvs. viz. Hisar Safeda and Hisar Surkha were examined during ripening on-tree as well as in-storage, at different stages of ripening. Observation of protein banding profile of guava fruits revealed that the profiles differed among cultivars as well as seasons. Both the hybrids revealed reproducible bands ranging from Rf values of 0.48 to 0.98 in rainy season and 0.36 to 0.93 in winter season. Polymorphism was exhibited clearly in fruits of rainy season crop than winter season crop. Also the profiles were affected differentially during ripening on-tree and in-storage. Differences were also observed with respect to maturity stages. There were few bands which were present only at green mature and half ripe stages but absent at full ripe stage while some bands were absent at green mature and half ripe stages but present at full ripe stage. In the present investigations, two unique bands were also observed. One band (Rf value 0.28) was present only in Hisar Surkha at full ripe stage whereas another band (Rf value 0.66) was present in Hisar Safeda at green mature stage only.
