Question

What is Vernalization

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Vernalization is the process by which plants experience a period of cold temperature in order to induce flowering. It is a physiological mechanism that helps plants adapt to seasonal changes and ensure successful reproduction. During vernalization, the cold temperature triggers molecular changes in the plant's genes, leading to the activation of flowering genes and ultimately the production of flowers. This process is particularly important for biennial and winter annual plants, as it allows them to flower in the following growing season after a period of cold.
