Abstract	Summary: Amphiphilic proteomic analysis was carried out on the ITMI (International Triticae Mapping Population) population resulting from a cross between 'Synthetic', i.e.: 'W7984' and 'Opata'. Out of a total of 446 spots, 170 were specific to either of the two parents, and 276 were common to both. Preliminary analysis, which was performed on 80 progenies (Amiour et al. 2002a), was completed here using a total of 101 selfed lines. Seventy two Loci of amphiphilic spots placed at LOD = 5 were conclusively assigned to15 chromosomes. Some spots mapped during the first analysis were eliminated because of the significant distortion segregation observed in the second analysis. Group-1 chromosomes had by far the greatest number of mapped spots (51). Using the Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) approach, analysis of the quantitative variation of each spot revealed that 96 spots out of the 170 specific ones showed at least one Protein Quantity Locus (PQL). These PQLs were distributed throughout the genome. With Matrix Laser Desorption Ionisation Time Of Flight (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry and Database interrogation, a total of 93 specific and 41 common spots were identified. This enabled us to show that the majority of these proteins are associated with membranes and/or play a role in plant defence against external invasions. Using multiple-regression analysis, other amphiphilic proteins, in addition to puroindolines, were shown to be involved in variation in kernel hardness in the ITMI population
