There is provided a plant of domesticated Triticeae species able to produce a grain with a modified (i.e. decreased or increased) level of B-type granules within the endosperm relative to the unmodified form of the grain. The level of B-type granules can be assessed by number or content by weight or volume. Whilst the level of B-type granule within the grain can be increased or decreased, optionally the grain contains substantially no B-type granules. The plant can contain a wheat Flo6 gene which is genetically modified. The plant of domesticated Triticeae species can be common wheat, barley, rye, durum wheat, spelt wheat, triticale, einkorn wheat or oat. Grain produced the plants, and flour and compositions of matter formed from the grain are also provided.
