Abstract excerpt
The attainment of flowering competency to respond to inductive spring conditions is a critical step in the development of many temperate plants, enabling timely reproduction and maximizing fitness. Chilling and short-day (SD) 'vernalization' trigger flowering competency in grasses and other species, but the relative importance of each in the colonization of temperate habitats remains poorly understood. We found...
