Winter plants require minimum temperature of 5 to 10[degrees]C in order to come out of the dormancy period, and hence wheat, which is a winter crop, also requires long cold season in order to hasten plant development before flowering occurs, so higher temperature delay the vernalisation process in wheat [Chouard (1960)].
