Vernalization (from Latin: vernus, of the spring) is the acquisition of a plant's ability to flower or germinate in the spring by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter. After vernalization, plants have acquired the ability to flower, but they may require additional seasonal cues or weeks of growth before they will actually flower.
Many plants grown in temperate climates require vernalization and must experience a period of low winter temperature to initiate or accelerate the flowering process. This ensures that reproductive development and seed production occurs in spring and summer, rather than in autumn.[1] The needed cold is often expressed in chill hours. Typical vernalization temperatures are between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius (40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit).
For many perennial plants, such as fruit tree species, a period of cold is needed to break dormancy, prior to flowering. Many monocarpic annuals andbiennials, including some ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana[2] and winter cereals such as wheat, must go through a prolonged period of cold before flowering occurs.

Hello!!
_________________________________
♀️Vernalisation is defined as the qualitative or quantitative dependence of plants on exposure to a low temperature to flower.
♀️Prevents plants from maturing too early in the growing season. Therefore, they get enough time to mature.
♀️Induces early flowering and reduces the vegetative phase of plants.
♀️It increases yield in plants.
♀️Provides resistance to cold and diseases.
♀️It enables biennial plants to behave like annual plants.
♀️Vernalisation allows plants to grow in regions they normally do not grow.
♀️Also, it helps to remove the wrinkles on kernels of Triticale (wheat and rye hybrid).
