ABSTRACT
Wheat is an annual plant belonging to the family Poaceae. It is used by human being in the form of flour for making different types of product like Chapatti, Bread, Biscuit, Cookies, noodles, maida, pasta etc. The objective of this study was to assess the morphological characteristics of germplasm bread and durum wheat. During two consecutive years (rabi 2015-16 and 2016-17) ten varieties of wheat species (Triticum aestivum L. and Triticum durum Desf.) were planted under field conditions and observe their morphological characters i.e. Days to heading, Days to maturity, Plant height, No. of ear head/m2, Ear length, No. of Grain ear-1, Weight of seed ear-1, 1000 grain weight, Grain yield, Hectoliter weight and Texture. Results shows that among wheat species genotypes GW 366, HI 1544, Raj 4037, HD 4728, HI 8737 and HI 8498 showed superiority for yield and yield attributes, therefore these genotypes could be utilized in various breeding programmes in future. Result was prepared by ANOVA method to analysis the genotypes for morphological variability. Desired traits can also be used for further improvement of morphological parameters through ideal breeding programme.
Key words: Wheat, morphology, trait, characterize, Anova
