Predicting the impact of climate change on vernalization for Arabidopsis thaliana

Winter annual Arabidopsis thaliana plants require a prolonged period of cold, known as vernalization, to ensure prompt floral transition occurs in spring. This thesis addresses the question of whether partial saturation of cold requirements might delay flowering under future climate scenarios. Labor...
