Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a pivotal staple food crop, providing about 20% of calories consumed by humans. Grain weight is one of the three factors of wheat yield, and also the key index of wheat breeding for high yield. During grain development, the nucellus projection of wheat participates in the nutrient transport of grain, affects the formation of grain storage capacity and the accumulation of storage materials, and then affects the grain weight and processing quality.
