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.
