Question
My report is based on a common type of experiment that measures the response of an organism to a graded series of stimuli.
In my case, the germination response of Sorghum and Wheat seed to temperature forms the basis of the experiment to be written up. Wheat is a winter crop that germinates in autumn, and Sorghum is a summer crop that germinates in spring.
The aim is to determine the optimum germination temperature for Wheat and Sorghum.
Please provide an introduction which should set the context for the work (the problem), background information, and provides the aim of the report.
Also provide a results section for the exepriment with the results below.

The effect of temperatures in the germination percentage in both the varieties of c3 plant (wheat which orginates in far broader ranged climatic environment) and c4 ( plants grown in subtropical climatic areas) plants varies.Here, wheat and sorghum germination percentage increased at 20-30 degrees. but when compared to sorghum,Wheat shows much increased germination percentage which shows stress tolerance in the given varieties. As, it is said that wheat is grown in winter which will have a optimum germination percentage at 20-30o.there is a vast difference in absorption ratios of water, nutrients and carbon intake...and metabolic activities
