Bud endodormancy is a complex physiological process that is indispensable for the survival,
growth, and development of deciduous perennial plants. The timely release of …

The plant circadian clock coordinates developmental, physiological, and metabolic
processes with diel changes in light and temperature throughout the year. The balance …

Bud-break is an economically and environmentally important process in trees and shrubs
from boreal and temperate latitudes, but its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood …

Optimizing the perception of external cues and regulating physiology accordingly help
plants to cope with the constantly changing environmental conditions to which they are …

Perennial trees in boreal and temperate regions undergo growth cessation and bud set
under short photoperiods, which are regulated by phytochrome B (phyB) photoreceptors and …

Although the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been successfully used for crop breeding, its
application remains limited in forest trees. Here, we describe an efficient gene editing …

The adaptation and survival of boreal and temperate perennials relies on the precise
demarcation of the growing season. Seasonal growth and development are defined by day …

Trees cover vast areas of the Earth's landmasses. They mitigate erosion, capture carbon
dioxide, produce oxygen and support biodiversity, and also are a source of food, raw …

Perennial species in the boreal and temperate regions are subject to extreme annual
variations in light and temperature. They precisely adapt to seasonal changes by …

Because of the limitations inherent in conventional breeding of trees and clonally
propagated crops, gene editing is of great interest. Dozens of published papers attest to the …
