ASSOCIATION OF COLD INDUCTION OF FLOWERING WITH LOW TEMPERATURE PHASES IN MEMBRANES.

Author(s) : SINGER M. A., FINEGOLD L.

Type of article: Article

Summary

MANY PLANTS REQUIRE AN EXPOSURE TO COLD IN ORDER TO FLOWER THE FOLLOWING SUMMER. SUCH VERNALIZATION, IF CHEMICAL, MUST HAVE UNUSUAL KINETICS. RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN SHOWN IN SYNTHETIC LIPID MEMBRANE SYSTEMS THAT NEW PHASES ARE FORMED UPON STORAGE FOR A TIME AT AROUND 273 K (0 DEG C). THE AUTHORS SUGGEST THAT THESE PHASES -AND NOT KINETICS -ARE THE ORIGIN OF VERNALIZATION, AND THAT VERNALIZATION CAN BE CONTROLLED GENETICALLY VIA LIPID PATHWAYS.
