Ten wheat varieties/lines were sown under normal field conditions. Phenotypic and genotypic correlations among the protein and carbohydrate contents and grain yield per plant were estimated. Direct and indirect effects of these traits on grain yield were determined through path coefficient analysis. Days to anthesis, time of pollination, number of grains per spike and lOOO-grainweight had positive and significant genotypic as well as phenotypic correlations with grain yield whereas pollen viability had positive but non-significant correlation with yield. Association between protein contents and grain yield was negative and non-significant. Path coefficient determined that flag leaf area, number of grains per spike and number of spikelets per spike are the characters which contribute largely to grain yield
