چکیده
Vernalization is the process by which prolonged exposure to cold temperatures promotes flowering. Over the past century, this process has been studied extensively at the physiological level. Recent studies have provided some insight into the molecular basis of vernalization. The rich history of vernalization research has been discussed in detail in many reviews (Chouard, 1960; Lang, 1965; Bernier et al., 1981). I will briefly summarize some highlights and classic experiments that I would like to relate to recent molecular advances.
