Temperate Fruit Trees under Climate Change: Challenges for Dormancy and Chilling Requirements in Warm Winter Regions

Horticulturae, 2021
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 insufficient winter chill, which has a crucial role in dormancy and ...

Assessment of Chilling Requirement and Threshold Temperature of a Low Chill Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Germplasm in the Mediterranean Area

Horticulturae, 2021
In temperate climates, bud break and shoot and flower emission of deciduous fruit tree species are regulated by precise chilling and heating requirements.

Global Methylation Analysis Using MSAP Reveals Differences in Chilling-Associated DNA Methylation Changes during Dormancy Release in Contrasting Sweet Cherry Varieties

Horticulturae, 2022
Dormancy is an adaptive strategy developed by temperate perennial crops to protect overwinter tissues from unfavorable environmental conditions. Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), a member of the Rosaceae family, requires chilling to overcome dormancy.

Chilling Requirements to Relieve Bud Dormancy in Black-fruited Aronia Taxonomic Groups Is Related to Ploidy and Geographic Origin

HortScience, 2023
The genus Aronia Medik., also known as chokeberry, is a group of deciduous shrubs in the Rosaceae family, subtribe Malinae. The two commonly accepted black-fruited Aronia species are black chokeberry [Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott] and aroniaberry [

Chilling accumulation in fruit trees in Spain under climate change [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019
Growing trees are quite vulnerable to cold temperatures. To minimise the effect of these cold temperatures, they stop their growth over the coldest months of the year, a state called dormancy.

GIS-Based Analysis and Mapping of the Winter Chilling Hours in Mainland Spain. Application to Some Sweet Cherry Cultivars

Agronomy, 2021
The knowledge of the chilling requirements for breaking rest and flowering of fruit trees is necessary to properly select cultivars and to avoid losses due to an inappropriate cultivar selection in a particular geographical location.

Stronger Spring Phenological Advance in Future Warming Scenarios for Temperate Species With a Lower Chilling Sensitivity

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Spring warming could induce earlier leaf-out or flowering of temperate plant species, and decreased chilling in winter has a delaying effect on spring phenology. However, the relative contribution of the decreased chilling and increased forcing on spring

Male Meiosis as a Biomarker for Endo- to Ecodormancy Transition in Apricot

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
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 temperatures to overcome endodormancy.

POLLEN DEVELOPMENT AND CHILLING REQUIREMENTS IN APRICOT CULTIVARS [PDF]

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) flowers at the end of the winter but flower bud differentiation occurs the previous summer. During the winter, the flower bud enters dormancy and resumes growth prior to flowering. The time the flower bud remains dormant is genetically and also environmentally controlled and is a major factor in determining the adaptation ...

Insufficient Chilling Effects Vary among Boreal Tree Species and Chilling Duration

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Insufficient chilling resulting from rising winter temperatures associated with climate warming has been an area of particular interest in boreal and temperate regions where a period of cool temperatures in fall and winter is required to break plant ...
