Due to the adverse impacts of climate change on earth systems the research in this field has
been profoundly taken a part in all scientific arenas since last few decades. The deleterious …

Temperate fruit and nut species require exposure to chilling conditions in winter to break
dormancy and produce high yields. Adequate winter chill is an important site characteristic …

In temperate trees, growth resumption in spring time results from chilling and heat
requirements, and is an adaptive trait under global warming. Here, the genetic determinism …

Global warming will lead to earlier beginnings and prolongation of growing seasons in
temperate regions and will have pronounced effects on phenology and life-history …

The present study investigates the genetic determinism of bud phenological traits using two
segregating F1 apple (Malus× domestica) progenies.• Phenological trait variability was …

Over the last decades, fruit trees in Europe have tended to flower earlier due to warmer
winters. The impact of destructive spring frosts remains considerable as exemplified by …

Background and Aims Plant growth, the increase of organ dimensions over time, and
development, the change in plant structure, are often studied as two separate processes …

Current climate change negatively impacts on key seasonal biological processes of
perennial plants causing erratic productions and, consequently, significant yield reductions …

This study presents the results of the development of numerical models for predicting the
timing of apricot flowering, including using experimental data on the emergence of plants …

Long-term examinations are important for accurately dissecting the genotypic and
environmental factors of and for predicting the possible impacts of climate change on …
