Wheat grain width: a clue for re-exploring visual indicators of grain weight.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mean grain weight (MGW) is among the most frequently measured parameters in wheat breeding and physiology. Although in the recent decades, various wheat grain analyses (e.g. counting, and determining the size, color, or shape features) have been facilitated, thanks to the automated image processing systems, MGW estimations have been limited to using few number of image-derived indices; i.e. mainly the linear or power models developed based on the projected area (Area). Following a preliminary observation which indicated the potential of grain width in improving the predictions, the present study was conducted to explore more efficient indices for increasing the precision of image-based MGW estimations. For this purpose, an image archive of the grains was processed, which
