Description
Kennedy and a team including Li and Vandeperre studied in twenty twenty-four a gene switch that helps grasses restart their cold count after warm spells. Plants use cold as a cue that winter has passed. Warm days can wipe that count in a process called devernalization, or loss of cold mark.
In a model grass, plants that lack the switch need more cold and bloom late after short warm spells. When cold is full, bloom is not changed by loss of the switch. In a glass house with shifting seasons its gene read rose in a strong way. The trait may be broad in cool-zone grasses.
