Here, we reviewed both endogenous and exogenous factors involved in the processes of
flower bud formation and flower development in peach, analyzing how they can be affected …

The regulation of bloom time in deciduous fruit trees is an area of increasing interest due to
the negative impact of climate change on fruit production. Although flower development has …

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 …

In sweet cherry trees, flowering is commercially important because the flowers, after
fertilization, will generate the fruits. In P. avium, the flowering induction and flower …

In this chapter, flower biology and fruit set in cherry, sweet (Prunus avium) and sour (Prunus
avium), are examined, paying attention to the critical steps that result in failures in fruit set …

Most temperate species require prolonged exposure to winter chilling temperatures to flower
in the spring. In the Brassicaceae, the MADS box transcription factor FLOWERING LOCUS C …

Evidence suggests that anthropogenically-mediated global warming results in accelerated
flowering for many plant populations. However, the fact that some plants are late flowering or …

This chapter focuses on the effect of temperature on seed dormancy, cold resistance and
spring frost damage in cherries and effects of warm temperatures on flower and fruit …

Understanding the process of Prunus species floral development is crucial for developing
strategies to manipulate bloom time and prevent crop loss due to climate change. Here, we …

A homologue of SQUAMOSA/APETALA1, designated PaAP1, was isolated from Prunus
avium by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). The full length of PaAP1 cDNA is 753bp, and …
