Answer 1

Answer:

Vernalization (from Latin vernus, "of the spring") is the induction of a plant's flowering process by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent.

Answer 2

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.
