The multivariate analysis was employed to find out whether there is difference in grain shape of the two barley globe grain mutants from variety Villa (Hordeum vulgare L.) They were recessive mutants occured on the chromosomes 2 and 7. The three components of grain shape-grain length, grain width and grain thickness-were taken from the randomly chosen 100 kernels. The results indicated that the grain shape was different between the two mutants and the grain length was the critical variable for this difference.
