Abstract
This project aims to find which grasses will flower after vernalization (a cold temperature cue), and which will lose this responsiveness if devernalized (when vernalization is interrupted with hot temperatures). This will help uncover when and how many times the ability to devernalize developed within this subfamily. Additionally, throughout the study, I will collect leaf and meristem tissue from a subset of samples to run analyses to determine how the expression of FT-like genes varies by species and time. This will lend insight into how the FT-like genes may have undergone functional diversification over time.
