Plant Transport and Physiology

The process of induction of flowering in plants, by exposing seeds at low temperature for prolonged periods is called Vernalisation. It is an aerobic, temperature dependent phenomena, prevents precocious reproductive development. It does not depend on light.

So, the correct answer to the question is ‘vernalisation is not a light dependent phenomena’.

Vernalization is the acquisition of a plant's ability to flower in the spring by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent. Many plants grown in temperate climates require vernalization and must experience a period of low winter temperature to initiate or accelerate the flowering process. This ensures that reproductive development and seed production occurs in spring and summer, rather than in autumn.

Vernalization is the process of inducing flowering to a plant by exposing the plant to cold of winter or through artificial processes. The process of Vernalization converts a biennial into an annual and spring variety into a winter variety and an annual into a perennial.

Vernalization is the induction of a plant's flowering process by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter. Therefore, it is classified as a temperature dependent pathway.

Vernalization promotes early flowering in plants that would otherwise require a longer vegetative period, effectively shortening the time spent in the vegetative phase.

When gibberellins were applied to certain cold-requiring plants, they flowered without low-temperature treatment. Thus it is conceivable that gibberellins could induce certain changes within the plant which in turn lead to flowering. Thus option B is the correct answer. 

During spring season the cool-season crops plants have enough time to reach maturity before the weather turns warm. Vernalization if the process of cooling the seed to germinate and induce flowering process.

Vernalization if the process of artificial induction of plant's flowering process which is discovered by Gassner and flowering time also changed by external factors.

Vernalization is the acquisition of a plant's ability to flower in the spring by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent. It can also refer to herbal plants requiring a cold dormancy to produce new shoots and leaves. The stimulus of vernalization is known as vernalin. The stimulus of vernalization that induce flowering could be a particular gibberellin or a mixture of gibberellins.

Vernalization is the physiological process that allows plants to bypass or compensate for the requirement of a specific temperature phase (thermophase) for flowering.

Vernalization is the process by which plant can be induced to flower by exposing it to the prolonged period of low temperature or cold. After this, plants show quicker flowering. The term was coined by Lysenko in 1928. He stated that certain plants can be made to flower by providing low temperature treatment to young plants or semigerminated seeds.

Vernalization is the artificial exposure of plants to low temperatures in order to stimulate flowering or to enhance seed production. By satisfying the cold requirement of many temperate zone plants, flowering can be induced to occur earlier than normal or in warm climates lacking the requisite seasonal chilling.

Vernalization is the process by which plant can be induced to flower by exposing it to the prolonged cold or winter. The term was coined by Lysenko in 1928. He stated that certain plants can be made to flower by providing low temperature treatment to young plants or moistened seeds. It is an aerobic process and requires metabolic energy obtained from oxygen.

Vernalisation is the phenomena in which flowering is induced in the plant by exposing it to low temperatures. Seeds of winter varieties will flower only when they are exposed to cold period early in their development. Artificially, flowering can be induced in spring as well if they are exposed to artificial vernalization.
