short answer :
The subjection of seeds or seedlings to low temperature in order to hasten plant development and flowering. Vernalization is commonly used for crop plants such as winter rye and is possible because the seeds and buds of many plants require cold in order to break dormancy.

Vernalization
Explanation:-
- Vernalization is defined as the qualitative or quantitative dependence of plants on exposure to low temperatures of flowers.
- Temperature affects flowering, metabolic activities, and seed germination in plants.
- Plants growing in mild climates germinate at lower temperatures while those growing in warmer regions germinate at higher temperatures.
- Some plants require exposure to low temperatures to germinate. In addition, a plant can be induced to flower by exposure to lower temperatures throughout the growing season.
- Therefore, it shortens the vegetative stage and speeds up flowering in plants.
