Economic Importance of Grain Shape and Size Parameters in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Grain shape and size are the important components of grain yield and quality in wheat. Grain size is an important physical indicator of seed quality that affects vegetative growth and is frequently related to yield, market grade factors and harvest efficiency. Wheat kernel size and shape influence its flour yield and market price. Grain weight, size, and protein content, are important components of grain yield and quality in wheat. Seed size had significant impact on seedling emergence percentage. Grain morphology analysis can play an important role in determining quality of wheat grain especially in market value.
