In a rapidly changing climate resulting in warmer winters, knowledge on the chilling and
heat requirements of deciduous fruit tree cultivars is a pre-requisite for adaptation; however …

The present study aims to generalize cultivar-specific tree phenology responses to winter
and spring temperatures and assess the effectiveness of the Tabuenca test and various chill …

In studies of plant spring phenology, temperature sum models are traditional tools. They are
used to quantify plant development in terms of accumulation of temperature-dependent …

Biennial vegetable crops are challenging to breed due to long breeding cycle times. At the
same time, it is important to preserve a strong biennial growth habit, avoiding premature …
