Tree-ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

Olive Bud Dormancy Release Dynamics and Validation of Using Cuttings to Determine Chilling Requirement [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Dormancy release dynamics in olive tree (Olea europaea L.) reproductive buds as affected by cold accumulation, tree bearing status, and budburst temperature was studied under natural and controlled conditions, using both cuttings and container- and field-

Provenance-Specific Chilling and Forcing Requirements Shape Spring Phenology in Three European Temperate Tree Species. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWinter chilling is essential for dormancy release and spring budburst in temperate trees. Using a climate‐controlled experiment with three species and four European provenances spanning a broad latitudinal gradient, we show that reduced chilling delays budburst and decreases budburst success, with strong species‐ and provenance‐specific differences ...

Hormonal Status of Transgenic Birch with a Pine Glutamine Synthetase Gene during Rooting In Vitro and Budburst Outdoors [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is one of the main ways of increasing plant productivity through genetic engineering. The modification of nitrogen (N) metabolism can affect the hormonal content, but in transgenic plants, this aspect has not been ...

Flowering and Flower Maturation in Valley Oak <i>Quercus lobata</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the factors influencing flower production both among years and among individual trees of the valley oak Quercus lobata. Among years, weather conditions, particularly winter rainfall, drive female flower production, while among trees, male and female flowers were positively correlated, countering the hypothesis of a life‐history trade ...

Feasting on the ordinary or starving for the exceptional in a warming climate: Phenological synchrony between spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) and budburst of six European tree species [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGlobal warming is affecting the phenological cycles of plants and animals, altering the complex synchronization that has co‐evolved over thousands of years between interacting species and trophic levels.

Comparison of methods for determining budburst date in grapevine
OENO One, 2022 Methods for determining budburst date in grapevine are poorly documented. Budburst date defined from cumulative shoots burst (or arising) and cumulative buds burst (expressed as % of total) were compared using different cultivars, pruning systems and ...

Alternative budburst inducers for kiwifruit vines grown in an organic system
Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2021 Lack of budburst inducers is a major problem in organic production of temperate fruits. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of alternative budburst inducers on kiwifruit vines of cultivar Bruno grown in an orchard in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
