Wheat anatomy

[Victoria Carollo]

Hello Katica,

I forward the sheet to several wheat researchers that I know, and see if 
they can come up with any.    The 'crease' in a wheat grain is actually 
quite important.  Millers would LOVE it if we could breed wheat without 
one, because of it less flour can be milled from the grain.

Cheers,
Vickie
