Abstract
ALTHOUGH the effect of low terhperature in inducing vernalization is now well established, it is by no means clear to what this effect is due. It appeared possible that the mere check in growth at low temperature is the chief factor. The results of Vasiljev1, which showed that when the period of low temperature treatment is included the time taken to flower remains nearly constant, lends support to this view.
