Using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to predict budbreak of the following year [PDF]
Quantitative Plant BiologyNear-infrared spectra (NIRS) from plant tissues can be used to predict traits owing to their relationship to internal biochemical states, shaped by both environmental and genetic components.

Target enrichment sequencing coupled with GWAS identifies MdPRX10 as a candidate gene in the control of budbreak in apple [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe timing of floral budbreak in apple has a significant effect on fruit production and quality. Budbreak occurs as a result of a complex molecular mechanism that relies on accurate integration of external environmental cues, principally temperature.

Simulations reveal variability in exposure to drier conditions during timing of budbreak for tree species of the mixedwood forests of Québec, Canada [PDF]
Forestry ResearchDue to climate change, the timing of budbreak is occurring earlier in temperate and boreal tree species. Since the warmer conditions also cause snow to melt earlier in the spring, the hypothesis that bud reactivation of tree species of the mixedwood ...

PLoS ONE, 2021 Under inadequate chilling conditions, hydrogen cyanamide (HC) is often used to promote budbreak and improve earliness of Southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. interspecific hybrids). However, HC is strictly regulated or even banned in some

Modelling Kiwifruit Budbreak as a Function of Temperature and Bud Interactions [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2002 This paper presents two models of budbreak on canes of 'Hayward' kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa). A conventional 'chill unit' (CU) type model is compared with an alternative 'loss of potential' (LOP) approach, which assumes that the number of buds developing in spring depends on climate and node position-dependent bud-to-bud interactions that vary in ...

Genetic and molecular regulation of chilling requirements in pear: breeding for climate change resilience [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant SciencePear (Pyrus spp.) is a deciduous fruit tree that requires exposure to sufficient chilling hours during the winter to establish dormancy, followed by favorable heat conditions during the spring for normal vegetative and floral budbreak.

Biological methods for assessment of budbreak in apple trees for modeling dormancy
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2014 A biological method was developed to evaluate the dormancy state of apple buds under controlled conditions. Cuttings (20-25 cm long) of ‘Castel Gala’ and ‘Royal Gala’ were sampled during the winter period, evaluating different cold and heat regimes to ...
