Most perennial and winter annual temperate grasses have a vernalization requirement (VR) for flowering, that is, they require a cold period before they can flower in response to long days.

Vernalization requirement and the chromosomal VRN1-region can affect freezing tolerance and expression of cold-regulated genes in Festuca pratensis [PDF]
Plants adapted to cold winters go through annual cycles of gain followed by loss of freezing tolerance (cold acclimation and deacclimation). Warm spells during winter and early spring can cause deacclimation, and if temperatures drop, freezing damage may

Analysis of VRN1 gene in triticale and common wheat genetic background [PDF]
In cereals, the transition from the vegetative stage to flowering is controlled in the main by the set of vernalization genes. Within these genes the most important role is played by VRN1, which encodes a MADS-box transcription factor, regulating the ...

The promoter of the cereal VERNALIZATION1 gene is sufficient for transcriptional induction by prolonged cold. [PDF]
The VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) gene of temperate cereals is transcriptionally activated by prolonged cold during winter (vernalization) to promote flowering.

The role of double-stranded break repair in the creation of phenotypic diversity at cereal VRN1 loci [PDF]
Nonhomologous repair of double-stranded breaks, although fundamental to the maintenance of genomic integrity in all eukaryotes, has received little attention as to its evolutionary consequences in the generation and selection of phenotypic diversity ...

Epigenetic control on transcription of vernalization genes and whole-genome gene expression profile induced by vernalization in common wheat [PDF]
Vernalization is necessary for winter wheat to flower. However, it is unclear whether vernalization is also required for spring wheat, which is frequently sown in fall, and what molecular mechanisms underlie the vernalization response in wheat varieties.

Pangenome insights into structural variation and functional diversification of barley CCT motif genes [PDF]
CONSTANS, CONSTANS‐LIKE, TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (CCT) motif genes play a key role in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) development and flowering, yet their genetic diversity remains underexplored.

Different application methods of humic acid and zinc differentially regulate osmotic balance and C-repeat binding factor pathways in cold-stressed oat (Avena sativa L.) [PDF]
The present study investigated the effects of different humic acid (HA) and zinc (Zn) application methods on membrane durability index (MDI), leaf relative water content (RWC), turgor loss (TL), proline content (PC), and C-repeat binding factor (CBF ...
