Wheat was germinated at three different temperatures (10, 16.5 and 25°C) to examine the changes in free amino acid levels. The free amino acid content after 122 h of germination was respectively 4 x, 10x and 7x that of the sound wheat at ‘0 h ’Glutamine and proline showed the largest increases. Proline increased 100‐fold during 122 h of germination at 16.5°C.
