Chilling and Heat Requirements of Temperate Stone Fruit Trees (Prunus sp.)

Agronomy, 2020
Stone fruit trees of genus Prunus, like other temperate woody species, need to accumulate a cultivar-specific amount of chilling during endodormancy, and of heat during ecodormancy to flower properly in spring.

Higher spring phenological sensitivity to forcing temperatures of Asian compared to European tree species under low and high pre-chilling conditions

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Winter chilling, spring forcing temperature and photoperiod are the most important drivers explaining the spatial and temporal variability of spring phenology in temperate trees. However, how these factors interact with each other on dormancy release and

Dormant Flower Buds Actively Accumulate Starch over Winter in Sweet Cherry

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Temperate woody perennials survive to low temperatures in winter entering a dormant stage. Dormancy is not just a survival strategy, since chilling accumulation is required for proper flowering and arbitrates species adaptation to different latitudes. In

Chilling and forcing requirement of five international fig cultivars grown in Southeastern Brazil

Revista Ceres, 2022
Chill hours availability influence break dormancy, sprouting and production of temperate fruits trees in different regions. However, there are few reports on the subject for fig tree.

Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Chilling and Forcing for the Main Fresh Fruit Regions in Portugal

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Air temperature plays a major role in the growth cycle of fruit trees. Chilling and forcing are two of the main mechanisms that drive temperate fruit development, namely dormancy and active plant development.

Thermal requirements and impacts of chilling accumulation on the phenology of olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars in Southern Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias
Chilling and thermal heat requirements play fundamental roles in the phenological cycle of olive trees (Olea europaea L.) by impacting the initiation of budburst, flowering, and productivity.

The Interactive Effects of Chilling, Photoperiod, and Forcing Temperature on Flowering Phenology of Temperate Woody Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The effects of winter chilling, spring forcing temperature, and photoperiod on spring phenology are well known for many European and North American species, but the environmental cues that regulate the spring phenology of East Asian species have not yet ...

Flowering Phenology of Olive Cultivars in Two Climate Zones with Contrasting Temperatures (Subtropical and Mediterranean)

Agriculture, 2023
The large amount of olive cultivars conserved in germplasm banks can be used to overcome some of the challenges faced by the olive growing industry, including climate warming.

Olive Bud Dormancy Release Dynamics and Validation of Using Cuttings to Determine Chilling Requirement

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-

Climate change and viability of fruit tree orchards in arid area

Journal of Oasis Agriculture and Sustainable Development, 2022
The Mediterranean region is facing temperature increases due to climate change. More warm conditions across the fruit and nut growing regions are expected to have a great and negative impact in Tunisian arid regions.
