The performance of growing degree day models to predict spring phenology of herbaceous species depends on the species' temporal niche

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1207-1220, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

Effects of Elevated Temperature on the Phenology and Fruit Shape of the Early-Maturing Peach Cultivar ‘Mihong’

Horticulturae
This study investigated the effects of elevated temperature on the phenology and morphology of the early-maturing peach cultivar ‘Mihong’. The experiment was conducted from 2019 to 2024 in a temperature-gradient chamber at the National Institute of ...

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1251-1269, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Identification, Structural and Functional Characterization of Dormancy Regulator Genes in Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In the present study, we identified and characterized the apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) homologs of three dormancy-related genes, namely the ParCBF1 (C-repeat binding factor), ParDAM5 (dormancy-associated MADS-BOX) and ParDAM6 genes. All highly conserved

Dormancy Patterns of Apple Trees Grown in a Mild Winter Region: A Breakpoint Model Analysis

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant challenge to the production of temperate climate fruit trees, since the dormancy of these species is regulated by the chill and heat accumulation during winter and early spring. This study aimed to identify the dormancy evolution patterns of three apple cultivars (“Galaxy,” “Fuji Suprema,” and “Eva”) in a ...

Temporal changes in the proanthocyanidins to anthocyanins ratio during dormancy associate with bloom time variations in peach

Current Plant Biology
Our previous research demonstrated that fall applications of ethephon, an ethylene-releasing plant growth regulator, delay bloom in peach, accompanied by changes in endogenous hormones, ROS, sugar metabolism, and transcriptomic profiles during bud ...

Ice Nucleation and Freezing Consequences in Perennial Plants

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The precise location where ice forms in plants affects the physical constraint it exerts on the different biological compartments (cells, tissues, organs). It is therefore critical to understand where and how ice nucleates to predict the extent of low temperature damage.

From bud formation to flowering: transcriptomic state defines the cherry developmental phases of sweet cherry bud dormancy

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Bud dormancy is a crucial stage in perennial trees and allows survival over winter to ensure optimal flowering and fruit production. Recent work highlighted physiological and molecular events occurring during bud dormancy in trees.

Exogenous Ethylene Precursors and Hydrogen Peroxide Aid in Early Seed Dormancy Release in Sweet Cherry

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2020
Seeds of sweet cherry (Prunus avium) possess a strong endodormancy response that traditionally requires months of stratification before germination can occur.

Local Adaptation for Seasonal Cold Tolerance in a High‐Elevation Conifer Species, Subalpine Larch (Larix lyallii Parl.)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Subalpine larch (Larix lyallii Parl.) is a deciduous conifer that only grows at treeline in the Cascade Range and Rocky Mountains of western North America. This habitat is shrinking due to climate change but subalpine larch is unlikely to migrate or adapt in situ and is therefore at risk of maladaptation and eventual extirpation.
