ABSTRACT — Knowing the importance of wheat culture both nationally and internationally , we decided to start a study which demonstrate the resistance of wheat germs to water stress . Water is one of the most essential elements for the development of plants , it has the role of helping the plants to assimilate more easily the nutrients from the soil , necessary for the vegetation period . The premise of this experiment is based on meteorological data recorded in recent years , from which resulted that , from year to year , wheat crops are faced with a permanent water stress due to the lack of precipitation , snow , and improperly executed soil works . Thus , the amount of water in the soil at the time of sowing and also during development is very small , which leads to a delay or poor development of wheat germs , something that will make it difficult for the plants to withstand winter hardening .
