For perennial plants, bud dormancy is a crucial step as its progression over winter
determines the quality of bud break, flowering, and fruiting. In the past decades, many …

Woody perennials' reliance on nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) reserves for the
resumption of spring growth necessitates an accumulation of NSC prior to dormancy. It is …

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 …

Plant shoot systems give rise to characteristic above-ground plant architectures. Shoots are
formed from axillary meristems and buds, whose growth and development is modulated by …

Hydrogen cyanide has been extensively used worldwide for bud dormancy break in fruit
trees, consequently enhancing fruit production via expedited cultivation, especially in areas …

In grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) buds, the short day (SD)-photoperiod induces endodormancy
and increases the level of ABA and the expression of ABA key biosynthesis genes, which …

Fluctuations in winter chilling availability impact bud dormancy and budburst. The objective
of this work was to determine chilling requirements to induce and overcome endodormancy …

Huanglongbing (HLB), formerly known as citrus greening disease, is one of the most
devastating bacterial diseases in citrus worldwide. HLB is caused by 'Candidatus …

Highlights•An energy-saving syndrome precedes and underlies the growth-to-dormancy
transition in buds.•This genetic program is probably responsible for bud growth arrest and …

Understanding how root systems modulate shoot system phenotypes is a fundamental
question in plant biology and will be useful in developing resilient agricultural crops. Grafting …
