Abstract
This paper explores the possible role of photosynthesis by individual glumes in influencing the growth rates of individual grains of the wheat ear. Specifically we determined: (1) the photosynthetic capacities of individual glumes (i.e. non-flowering glumes, lemmas, and paleas) of an awned wheat cultivar; (2) the pattern of translocation of 14C-Iabelled assimilate from individual glumes to individual grains; and (3) the time course of translocation of label from glumes and flag leaf to the grain.
