Abstract	This study was conducted to investigate the changes in wheat grain quality that may occur during storage in different types of containers commonly used in Bangladesh i.e., tin container, earthen pots and plastic pots. Seeds of three different wheat varieties viz., BARI Gom 21 (Shatabdi), BARI Gom 25 and BARI Gom 26 were stored in these containers during April to November, 2013, at existing environmental conditions of Department of Agronomy Laboratory, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The result revealed that tin container showed an increase in germination percentage, shoot and root length, seedlings dry weight with decrease in 1000-seed weight, moisture percentage, days to germination and electrical conductivity of seeds during storage. Lowest quality performance was observed from earthen pot. BARI Gom 26 performed best quality in retaining highest germination percentage, shoot and root length, seedling dry weight with lowest electrical conductivity and days to germination. In case of interaction effect, the highest germination percentage, seedling shoot length, root length and dry weight was obtained from BARI Gom 26 stored in tin container and the lowest result was found from earthen pot with BARI Gom-26.
