Abstract
Research studies were carried out for identification and isolation of low phytate bread wheat mutants / cultivars in Pakistan. Sixty six mutants / cultivars collected from different parts of the country were assayed for phytic acid contents. The phytic acid contents ranged from 0.98% (Parvaz-94) to 2.17 % (NRL-0443). The frequency distribution curve showed that most of the genotypes had seed phytic acid contents in the range of 1.28 - 1.72%. Pooled analysis of revealed that seed phytic acid contents have significant correlations with seed width (p
