==Devernalization== It is possible to devernalize a plant by exposure to sometimes low and high temperatures subsequent to vernalization. For example, commercial [[onion]] growers store sets at low temperatures, but devernalize them before planting, because they want the plant's energy to go into enlarging its bulb (underground stem), not making flowers.<ref> {{ cite encyclopedia | encyclopedia = Encyclopædia Britannica Online | title = Vernalization |url= https://www.britannica.com/topic/vernalization | quote = Devernalization can be brought about by high temperatures ... Onion sets ... are ... ready to flower ... temperatures above 26.7 °C (80 °F) ..., however, shifts the sets to the desired bulb-forming phase. | access-date = 2023-09-03 }} </ref>
