Vedclass · Answer

The physiological mechanism of flowering in plants is controlled by two factors- light period and low temperature. The cold treatment of plants to induce flowering is called vernalization. Term vernalization was first given by $T.D.$ Lysenko $(1928)$. As a result of vernalization a flowering hormone called vernaline is formed. Site of vernalization is apical meristem.

Assertion $(A)$ : Vernalization is acceleration of subsequent flowering by low temperature treatment.

Reason $(R)$ : Site of vernalization is apical meristem.
