Individual kernel weight distribution data for 12 varieties of hard red winter wheat grown at four locations are reported.Pattern distributions show differences among and within varieties as affected by the environment. Kernel weight distributions are discussed in relation to the general quality and genetic background of the varieties. The kernel weight distribution curves revealed that potential flour yields were positively related to the percentage of the distribution above 20 mg/kernel (r = 0.76**). Potential flour yield was positively correlated (r = 0.93**) with kernel weight.
