Abstract

Vernalization requirements of Raphanus sativus L. 'Early 40 Days', 'Chinese Radish Jumbo Scarlet', 'Everest', and 'Minowase Early Long White' were studied to determine their potential as model plants for vernalization studies. Leaf number below the inflorescence and days to anthesis decreased as vernalization time increased from 0 to 15 days at 6.5°C for all cultivars. 'Early 40 Days', 'Everest', and 'Minowase Early Long White' flowered but 'Chinese Radish Jumbo Scarlet' did not flower under long-day-conditions (inductive) at 18°C without vernalization, i.e. 'Chinese Radish Jumbo Scarlet' has an obligate vernalization requirement. 'Chinese Radish Jumbo Scarlet' was completely vernalized in 5-10 days. Use of 'Chinese Radish Jumbo Scarlet' as a model plant for vernalization studies is discussed.
