Concepts Used:

Vernalisation

The term "vernalization" comes from the Latin word "vernus," which simply means "spring." It directly means "to make spring-like." Vernalisation is described as a plant's qualitative or quantitative dependency on subjection to low temperatures to blossom. Metabolic activities, flowering, and seed germination in plants are all pompoused by temperature.

Types of Vernalisation:

Vernalisation can be classified into the following types:

  1. Obligate Vernalisation:  Plants must be exposed to lower temperatures for a set amount of time. For instance, Cabbage.
  2. Facultative Vernalisation: Flowering takes place earlier in plants when they are exposed to lower temperatures. For instance, Annual winter triticale.
