Abstract:The starch granules in hard and soft winter wheat initiated before 7 days after anthesis (DAA). These early synthesized granules (A-type) continued to enlarge to their maximum diameter of 30 µm at 10 DAA. By 14 DAA, a burst of synthesis created a new population of small starch granules (B- type). A third group (C-type) of small granules was initiated at 21 DAA. The percent number of <0.6 µm starch granules and that of >0.6 µm in cultivar Lumai 21 (soft winter wheat) was lower and higher, respectively, than those in cultivar Jinan 17 (hard winter wheat) at 7-14 DAA. However, there were opposite changes at 17-28 DAA. This indicated that soft wheat had stronger capacity of new starch granule synthesis than hard wheat, respectively, at early and late grain filling stage.
