Genetic diversity in 30 genotypes of Pumpkins <span style="font-family:Verdana;">was</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> collected from unexplored mountainous areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan was investigated through biochemical characterization. For biochemical characterization, Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis was carried out. The seed proteins were resolved on 7.5% and 15% polyacrylamide gel. A total of 35% genetic disagreement was observed in the collected lines with linkage distances ranging from 0.00</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> - </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">0.83 (percent disagreement). Similarly, cluster analysis sorted total germplasm on the basis of 12 bands (total bands) into eight clusters. Present study revealed a considerable amount of genetic diversity explored in pumpkin germplasm, Cluster analysis exhibited moderate level of genetic diversity;to broaden the gene pool. Further collection of the important germplasm is needed </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">to be </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">used in the development of improved cultivars with respect to quality and quantity.</span>
