Question

What is vernalisation?

Answer 1

Vernalization is the induction of a plant's flowering process by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent. 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

♀️Vernalisation is defined as the qualitative or quantitative dependence of plants on exposure to a low temperature to flower.

♀️Temperature affects flowering, metabolic activities, and germination of seeds in plants.

♀️Plants that grow in mild weather germinate at low temperatures whereas those that grow in hot regions germinate at high temperatures.

♀️Some plants need exposure to a low temperature to germinate.

♀️Furthermore, a plant can be induced to flower in a growing season by exposing it to low temperature.

♀️Therefore, it shortens the vegetative phase and hastens flowering in plants.
