Alternate bearing of fruit trees has been known since antiquity, and yet it remains a problem
with numerous fruit tree crops even today. Still, the metabolic processes, their induction and …

Olive (Olea europaea) has a very high tendency for year-to-year deviation in yield (alternate
bearing), which has a negative economic impact on the olive oil industry. Among possible …

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of supplemental micro-irrigation, in a
commercial rainfed orchard, on tree water status, gas exchange and productivity of Pistacia …

Seasonal changes in leaf gas exchange, assimilation response to light and leaf area were
monitored in bearing and nonbearing pistachio shoots. Shoot bearing status did not directly …

The alteration of heavy (“ON/bearing”) and light (“OFF/non-bearing”) yield in pistachio
(Pistacia vera L.) has been reported to result from the abscission of inflorescence buds on …

This study was performed to test the working hypothesis that the primary determinants
influencing seasonal driven modifications in carbon mobilization and other key biochemical …

The temperature response of plant respiration varies between species and can acclimate to
changing temperatures. Mitochondrial respiration in plants has two terminal oxidases: the …

Urban–rural transects can be utilized as natural gradients of temperature and also as a tool
to predict how plant ecology and physiology might respond to expected global change …

La produzione mondiale di pistacchio è aumentata fortemente negli ultimi anni grazie alla
capacità di questa specie di crescere in condizioni limitanti e per l'elevato prezzo che il …

Biennial bearing is a frequent problem in pistachio (Pistaciavera L.) production and gets
worse with age. Abscission of floral buds is due to competition between growing seeds on 1 …
