“…Several important agricultural species need vernalization for their production. Generally, this process occurs in plants that are propagated through vegetative propagules (bulbs, corms, tubers or rhizomes) as is the case of onion when vegetatively propagated (D'Angelo and Goldman, 2018), lily (Li et al, 2016), garlic (Wu et al, 2016), amaryllis (Andini et al, 2019) and gladiolus (Tomiozzo et al, 2019). However, crops that are propagated by stolons, such as strawberry (Diel et al, 2017), and by seeds such as wheat (Shourbalal et al, 2019) and statice (Shillo, 1976) may also require vernalization.…”
