Time-Resolved Analysis of Candidate Gene Expression and Ambient Temperature During Bud Dormancy in Apple [PDF]
Winter dormancy – a period of low metabolic activity and no visible growth – appears as an adaptation to harsh winter conditions and can be divided into different phases.

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 ...

Metabolites in Cherry Buds to Detect Winter Dormancy [PDF]
Winter dormancy is still a “black box” in phenological models, because it evades simple observation. This study presents the first step in the identification of suitable metabolites which could indicate the timing and length of dormancy phases for the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Provenance-Specific Chilling and Forcing Requirements Shape Spring Phenology in Three European Temperate Tree Species. [PDF]
Winter 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 ...

Identification of early and late flowering time candidate genes in endodormant and ecodormant almond flower buds [PDF]
AbstractFlower bud dormancy in temperate fruit tree species, such as almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb], is a survival mechanism that ensures that flowering will occur under suitable weather conditions for successful flower development, pollination and fruit set.
