The physiological reaction of entities or developmental responses to the length of dark or night period is known as Photoperiodism, This type of response occurs in both plants and animals. While vernalization is the induction of the flowering process in plants as a result of exposure to the prolonged winter or cold or by an artificial equivalent.
