Vernalization has multiple interactions with photoperiodism. Thus, a cold requirement for flowering appears to be associated with a specific photoperiod. The most well quoted instance is that of need for vernalization and LD which leads to flowering in late spring or early summer. However, a cold requirement may also be accompanied by a SD photoperiodic response. Vernalization is also known [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Vernalization 2. Site of Vernalization 3. Nature of Vernalization Process 4. Application. Definition of Vernalization: The precise definition of vernalization is not universally accepted. The term is best defined as the specific promotion of flowering by a cold treatment given to the imbibed seed or young plant. In certain seeds, [...]
