Summary The spring phenology has advanced significantly over recent decades with climate change, impacting large‐scale biogeochemical cycles, climate feedback, and other essential ecosystem processes. Although numerous prognostic models have been developed for spring phenology, regional analyses of the optimality (OPT) strategy model that incorporate ...

A General Model for the Seasonal to Decadal Dynamics of Leaf Area
We extend the theoretical basis for understanding how climate affects ecosystem processes and provide an optimality‐based model to predict the seasonal dynamics of leaf phenology in response to climate change that could improve land‐surface models. ABSTRACT Leaf phenology, represented at the ecosystem scale by the seasonal dynamics of leaf area index ...

Chilling of Endodormant Peach Propagules: I. Seed Germination and Emergence [PDF]
We compared peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Johnson Elberta] seed germination (G) and seedling emergence (E) after various stratification (St) treatments. Treatments were arranged in factorial combinations of five St durations (20 to 60 days) at eight constant temperatures (0 to 18C) in a completely randomized design followed by repeated measures

Bud endodormancy is an important, complex process subject to both genetic and epigenetic control, the mechanism of which is still unclear. The endogenous hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and its signaling pathway play important roles in the endodormancy ...

Climate change is shifting flowering and animal activity times across ecosystems, potentially increasing the risk of plant–pollinator mismatches. Flower production and plant reproductive success showed varied responses to climate change depending on the ecosystem, whereas nectar rewards declined and floral scents increased or changed under warming and ...

Knowledge of dormancy traits are important in peach breeding. Traditional method selection of seedlings takes a long time because of the juvenile period of plants; therefore, novel application of marker assisted selection methods are needed to accelerate

Flowering in litchi and many subtropical fruit trees requires adequate cool temperatures. To evaluate the potential impacts of rising temperatures due to climate change on litchi fruit production, we presented an improved temperature model predicting litchi flowering based on the beta‐distribution function and used this model to estimate the likelihood

Is GABA-shunt functional in endodormant grapevine buds under respiratory stress?
It has been suggested that a respiratory stress is part of the mechanism through which the dormancy-breaking compounds, hydrogen cyanamide (HC) and sodium azide, induce the release of buds from the endodormancy (ED) in grapevines. The accumulation of metabolites like succinate, alanine (Ala) and γ-amino butyric acid (GABA), together with the activation

Stable Isotope Labelling Reveals Water and Carbon Fluxes in Temperate Tree Saplings Before Budbreak
ABSTRACT Despite considerable experimental effort, the physiological mechanisms governing temperate tree species' water and carbon dynamics before the onset of the growing period remain poorly understood. We applied 2H‐enriched water during winter dormancy to the soil of four potted European tree species. After 8 weeks of chilling, hydrogen isotopes in

Over the life cycle of perennial trees, the dormant state enables the avoidance of abiotic stress conditions. The growth cycle can be partitioned into induction, maintenance and release and is controlled by complex interactions between many endogenous ...
