The appropriate timing of flowering is crucial for plant reproductive success. Studies of the molecular mechanism of flower induction in the model plant
showed long days and vernalization as major environmental promotive factors.
has an obligate vernalization requirement that has not been studied at the molecular genetics level. Here, we characterize the vernalization requirement and response of four geographically diverse biennial/perennial
accessions: Ganges (GA), Lellingen (LE), La Calamine (LC), and St. Felix de Pallières (SF). Differences in vernalization responsiveness among accessions suggest that natural variation for this trait exists within
. Mutants which fully abolish the vernalization requirement were identified and were shown to contain mutations in the

and

genes, two key floral repressors in this species. At high temperatures, the non-vernalization requiring
mutant reverts from flowering to vegetative growth, which is accompanied with a reduced expression of
and
. This suggested there is "crosstalk" between vernalization and ambient temperature, which might be a strategy to cope with fluctuations in temperature or adopt a more perennial flowering attitude and thus facilitate a flexible evolutionary response to the changing environment across the species range.
