Plants with a winter growth habit flower earlier when exposed for several weeks to cold temperatures, a process called vernalization. The wheat vernalization gene VRN-2 is a dominant repressor of flowering that is down-regulated by vernalization. Loss of function of VRN-2, whether by natural mutations or deletions, results in spring lines, which do not require vernalization to flower.
