Interrelationship between grain yield, culm length and their component traits were studied in F1 and F2 progenies in spring wheat. Culm length was positively correlated with coleoptile length, seedling height and peduncle length. Among themselves too these component traits showed positive and significant relationship. Grain yield exhibited positive association with 100-grain weight, coleoptile length, seedling height, peduncle length and culm length. 100-grain weight also showed positive relationship with these traits. Dwarf lines having long coleoptile and peduncle were isolated.
