Effect of summer pruning on some fruit quality traits in Hayward kiwifruit

, 2013
The aim of our study was to analyze the effect of various levels of light availability in the fruit microenvironment (induced by summer pruning) on some fruit quality traits. Materials and methods. Two levels of summer pruning were set: removal of either

PlantCV v4: Image analysis software for high‐throughput plant phenotyping

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract PlantCV is an open‐source Python project aimed at developing tools to address a range of image‐based, plant phenotyping questions. PlantCV has been used for more than 10 years to automate trait collection from image data, and the newest release, PlantCV version 4, continues to lower the barrier to entry for users without substantial coding ...

Summer Rainfall Drives Adaptation with Gene Flow in a Widespread Butterfly. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Understanding how environmental variation interacts with gene flow to shape population genomic patterns is a central goal in evolutionary biology. We investigated how geographic and environmental differences impact genetic variation in the clouded sulfur butterfly (Colias philodice eriphyle) by conducting whole‐genome resequencing across ...

Spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping for crop water stress assessment: A review

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Water stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity worldwide, and its impacts are intensifying due to climate variability and increasing water scarcity. This review focuses on the spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping as a critical approach to improving crop water‐stress assessment and supporting precision water ...

Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

The kiwifruit (Actinidia sp.) vine root system: Responses to vine manipulations

, 2012
The root system is a significant component of whole-plant biomass in kiwifruit vines and is likely to be a considerable carbohydrate sink. Seasonal trends in root growth were investigated to infer seasonal fluctuations in root carbohydrate demand.

Pruning management in a high-density olive orchard

, 2018
The effect of different pruning strategies and times on olive vegetative-reproductive behavior was studied in a 5-year-old high-density orchard (1250 trees ha-1, cultivar ‘Ascolana tenera’).

Digitised herbarium specimen data reveal a climate change‐related trend to an earlier, shorter Canadian Arctic flowering season, and phylogenetic signal in Arctic flowering times

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 696-706, July 2026.
Summary The Arctic is experiencing some of the world's most rapid changes in climate. Arctic plant flowering time responses to climate change are understudied. Globally, conflicting evidence exists on whether flowering time responses to temperature are evolutionarily conserved.

Bulletin No. 140 - The Summer Pruning of a Young Bearing Apple Orchard

, 1915
The majority of horticultural writers seem to favor the summer pruning of apple trees. The practice, and the arguments made in its favor vary widely and in some instances seem almost contradictory.

Documenting biodiversity with digital data: comparing and contrasting the efficacy of specimen‐based and observation‐based approaches

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 721-736, July 2026.
Summary Digitized herbarium specimens and iNaturalist observations provide invaluable plant biodiversity data. Combining these two data sources could create a more holistic representation of local biodiversity; however, understanding biases inherent to each is critical to determine how to best combine and utilize these data.
