Abstract: 
The course of development of the endosperm in wheat grains from pot experiments after application of growth regulators and a varied N-supply was followed by an endosperm cell count. The maximum number of endosperm cells was reached within the 3rd wk after anthesis and remained constant at 2 further checking times for > 30 days after anthesis. There was no effect of application of CCC [chloromequat chloride] and Ancymidol at the end of tillering on the maximum number of endosperm cells although the single grain weight was smaller than in the control. The number of endosperm cells and single grain weight was not altered by the varied N-supply. Within the ear, there is a distinct relation between the maximum number of endosperm cells and single grain weight. During the course of grain development, the differences in the number of cells, appeared earlier than the differences in the grain weight.
