In wheat (cv Kalyan Sona and C-306), water stress treatments during grain elongation and maturation phases reduce the weight of grains present in the basal positions within the sptkelets of the middle region of the ear to a lesser extent than that of the distally located grains in basal and apical regions. These differences appear to be related with the vascular supply reaching the grain.
