MORPHOLOGICAL STAGING OF WHEAT CARYOPSIS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract
Growth and size measurements as well as morphological characteristics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Chinese Spring) caryopsis development are classified into five (I–V) groups, each representing a distinct developmental stage. Such staging will hopefully aid in experimental approaches and comparative studies of wheat embryo and endosperm development.
