Adequate chill is of great importance for successful production of deciduous fruit trees.
However, temperate fruit trees grown under tropical and subtropical regions may face …

Throughout history, new strategies and technologies have played a key role in promoting
the development of agriculture. New strategies have led to substantial improvements in crop …

In this work, we studied the interplay among the levels of starch, sugars, abscisic acid (ABA)
and bioactive gibberellins (GAs), and the antioxidant metabolism during bud dormancy …

Flower bud dormancy in temperate fruit tree species, such as almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.)
DA Webb], is a survival mechanism that ensures that flowering will occur under suitable …

(1) Background: Prunus species have the ability to suspend (induce dormancy) and restart
growth, in an intricate process in which environmental and physiological factors interact.(2) …

Dormancy is an adaptive strategy in plants to survive under unfavorable climatic conditions
during winter. In temperate regions, most fruit trees need exposure to a certain period of low …

Global warming, through affecting the dormancy progression of temperate fruit trees, has a
profound impact on bud break, flowering and fruiting performance. This may lead to …

Prunus sibirica, an ecologically and economically important early-flowering tree species, is
susceptible to late frost damage, which can cause yield decline. Recognizing the …

Hydrogen peroxide-converting enzyme activities in leaf buds of the apple cultivar Idared
during the transition from dormancy release to the ontogenetic development were …

Determination of chilling and heat requirements is respected in the selection of the suitable
cultivars for producers to avoid damages caused by an inadequate winter chilling in a …
