Summarizes the mechanisms and importance of vernalization for flowering in higher plants, suggesting future research directions.
Vernalization, one of the genetically controled process induced by low temperature which involves expression of related genes, plays an important role for transition to flowering in some higher plants. In this paper, the research progresses on plant vernalization were summarized, including types of vernalization, physiological and biological characteristics of vernalization and molecular mechanism of vernalization. The existed problems in researches were discussed, and the prospect was put forward.
