Dear Colleagues,

 

Fruit production directly depends on flowering success, which in turn depends on climate conditions. Perennial plants, such as temperate fruit trees, have the ability to induce and release/break dormancy, which means suspending and resuming growth periodically in response to changing environmental and seasonal conditions. The break of endodormancy (also called winter dormancy) demands the long-term accumulation of low temperatures, recorded as chill requirements (CR), followed by the accumulation of high temperatures (heat requirements) to restore the ability to grow. In other words, only when chill + heat requirements have been fulfilled will flowering take place, by the initiation of an extensive reprogramming of transcriptional and metabolic pathways. [...]
