Endosperm cell number in cultivars of barley differing in grain weight

M. Patricia Cochrane, CAROL M. DUFFUS

Open publisher page 59 citations

Abstract

SUMMARY The number of endosperm cells in caryopses 30 ‘days’ after anthesis was determined and a positive correlation was found between endosperm cell number and 1000 grain weight, and between endosperm cell number and dry grain volume in a number of cultivars of field‐grown barley. The genetic factors influencing grain weight are discussed in relation to these results and to observations made on transverse sections of immature caryopses.
