Hello there!
Greetings!
Vernalization is simply the induction of plants flowering process by exposing them to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent and it ensures that reproductive development and seed production occurs in spring and winters, rather than in autumn.
The main applications and benefits of vernalization is that in biennial plants the vernalization induces the early flowering and the fruit set, also flowering is induced by grafting the vernalized shoot apex with that of the non- vernalized one. This feature is used in Horticulture. Thus vernalization plays an important role.
I hope that you find this helpful.
Thankyou
