Trees growing in boreal and temperate regions synchronize their growth with seasonal
climatic changes in adaptive responses that are essential for their survival. These trees …

In tree species native to temperate and boreal regions, the activity‐dormancy cycle is an
important adaptive trait both for survival and growth. We discuss recent research on …

Dormancy is the mechanism that plants use to protect sensitive tissue from unfavourable
climatic conditions. In a changing global environment, temperate fruit crop adaptation might …

Woody perennials enter seasonal dormancy to avoid unfavorable environmental conditions.
Plant hormones are the critical mediators regulating this complex process, which is subject …

Background How plants adapt their developmental patterns to regular seasonal changes is
an important question in biology. The annual growth cycle in perennial long-lived trees is yet …

The growth of perennial plants in the temperate zone alternates with periods of dormancy
that are typically initiated during bud development in autumn. In a systems biology approach …

Buds are specialized structures that protect fragile meristematic regions during dormancy
and are part of the mechanism that plants use to survive unfavorable environmental …

Climate warming has increased researchers' interest in plant phenology and its modelling.
Although the main focus is on projections of accelerated springtime phenological events …

In woody species cycling between growth and dormancy must be precisely synchronized
with the seasonal climatic variations. Cessation of apical growth, resulting from exposure to …

The role of temperature during dormancy development is being reconsidered as more
research emerges demonstrating that temperature can significantly influence growth …
