Abstract: Grain quality of 15 accessions with blue or purple grain color genes,which derived from 6 different wheat genetic backgrounds,was analy zed. The results showed that no matterwhich genetic background of the pigment genes came from the quality of blue or purple grain was better than that of white grain wheat variety.There was difference in grain quality between genetic resources with the same grain colour but different pigment genes.Those blue or purple grain mater also can be used not only for wheat quality breeding, but also for health care food of human life.

Key words: Wheat, Pigment, Grain quality
