Plz explain the highlighted line and also explain what precocious reproductive development mean .
Dear student,
Precocious reproductive development refers to the process of premature flowering and fruiting in plants. It is the process of beginning of reproductive events before the plant has gained maturity or has completed the required growth.
Vernalization refers to induction of flowering in plants when exposed to lower temperature. These plants attain the growth during warmer seasons and produce flowers/fruits during spring or following months of winter. The requirement of low temperature conditions for flowering ensures that the plants do not flower or reproduce during warmer months.
Regards.
