Cold hardiness mechanisms and modeling: existing approaches and future avenues [PDF]
Summary Cold hardiness models are useful tools to predict cold damage in plants, such as those produced by unseasonal temperature cycles or by increased cold exposure. Although development of these models started about five decades ago, their applications remain limited.

Rethinking Model Transferability: Validity Domains as a New Approach to Delineate the Limits of Bloom Date Projections [PDF]
Accurately predicting future phenology events in novel environmental conditions is a key challenge in modelling. Using first bloom observations of the Japanese Yoshino cherry across a temperature gradient, we calibrated process‐based and machine learning models at multiple locations and cross‐validated them to obtain the predictive performance for all ...

Inflorescence Emergence and Flowering Response of Olive Cultivars Grown in Olive Reference Collection of Portugal (ORCP) [PDF]
In olive trees, fluctuations in the onset of phenological stages have been reported due to weather conditions. The present study analyses the reproductive phenology of 17 olive cultivars grown in Elvas (Portugal) in 3 consecutive years (2012–2014 ...

Is It Cold Enough? Effects of Artificial and Natural Chilling on Budbreak and Frost Hardiness in Acer saccharum (Marsh.) [PDF]
ABSTRACT A crucial part of the phenological cycle in temperate and boreal trees is the exposure to chilling temperatures releasing endodormancy, which allows the trees to react to external signals and resume growth in spring. We compared the effect of artificial and natural chilling on endodormancy break and frost hardiness of sugar maple (Acer ...

Identifying indicators of apple bud dormancy status by exposure to artificial forcing conditions [PDF]
Dormancy in temperate fruit trees is a mechanism of temporary growth suspension, which is vital for tree survival during winter. Studies on this phenomenon frequently employ scientific methods that aim to detect the timing of dormancy release.

Uncovering dormancy stage predictors in sweet cherry through DNA methylation and machine learning integration [PDF]
BackgroundPrunus Avium L. dormancy is a complex physiological process that allows floral outbreaks to survive adverse winter conditions and resume favorable spring growth. Traditional phenological evaluations and agroclimatic models, although widely used,

Alternative splicing of the FLOWERING LOCUS C-like gene MaMADS33 is associated with endodormancy in mulberry [PDF]
Alternative splicing (AS) is an important post-transcriptional process that generates multiple mRNA isoforms. FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a pivotal gene in both the vernalization and autonomous pathways of flowering plants, and MaMADS33 is one of the FLC ...

Perspectives on the adaptation of Japanese plum-type cultivars to reduced winter chilling in two regions of Spain [PDF]
Japanese plum, like other temperate fruit tree species, has cultivar-specific temperature requirements during dormancy for proper flowering. Knowing the temperature requirements of this species is of increasing interest due to the great genetic ...
