Abstract: T study was conducted to determine characteristics of Tir wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). For this purpose, 255 lines were collected from 7 different areas. Spike density, awnedness, glume glaucocity, grain colour, glume colour and vitreous characters were investigated in the lines. After the first year`s observation, the number of lines was decreased to 90 lines. Glume colour had the greatest variation among investigated characters. The lines had 11 different glume colour groups. There were completely similar lines among the selected 90 lines, however, the vitreous characters of several lines were found to be different. It was concluded that there were different types of Tir wheat and these types might be a useful genetic resource. However, the lines have to be examined by new research for quality and yield.
