Nitrogen is an important factor that influences the yield and quality of wheat grain. However, little is known about its effect on the different positions of the grain in spikelets. Compared with the control group, nitrogen application increased the weight, starch content, and protein content of grains in each position considerably. In particular, the protein content in high grain positions of Yangmai 13 (YM 13) under nitrogen treatment are similar to those positions in Yannong 19 (YN 19) under normal levels. Nitrogen application substantially increased the volume proportion of small starch granules and the average degree of polymerization (DP) but reduced the apparent amylose content (AAC), and the breakdown values (BV) of the first grain (G1) and the second grain (G2) in YN19. Nitrogen application considerably increased AAC, the volume proportion of small starch granules, and the ordered structure of starch surface of G1 and AAC, BV, and DP of G2 in YM13. These results demonstrated that a medium nitrogen level is conducive to increase the agronomic traits in high‐position grains and a better pasting properties of starch in low‐position grains.
