| 1. | Many biennials require a cold treatment, or vernalization, before they will flower.
|
| 2. | The acceleration of flowering by prolonged cold is a classic epigenetic process called vernalization.
|
| 3. | Spring cereals are planted in early springtime and mature later that same summer, without vernalization.
|
| 4. | Other annual plants require winter cold to complete their life cycle, this is known as vernalization.
|
| 5. | Typical vernalization temperatures are between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius ( 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit ).
|
| 6. | Bolting is a robust predictor of flower formation, and hence a good indicator for vernalization research.
|
| 7. | Lysenko himself translated Jarovization as " vernalization " ( from the Latin " vernum " meaning Spring ).
|
| 8. | Lysenko's 1928 paper on vernalization and plant physiology drew wide attention due to its practical consequences for Russian agriculture.
|
| 9. | Day neutral plants do not initiate flowering based on photoperiodism, though some may use temperature sensitivity ( vernalization ) instead.
|
| 10. | Our recent work has focused on a mechanistic understanding of vernalization and on the pathways that determine a requirement for vernalization.
