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 …

Bud endodormancy is a complex physiological process that is indispensable for the survival,
growth, and development of deciduous perennial plants. The timely release of …

Temperate climates are defined by distinct temperature seasonality with large and often
unpredictable weather during any of the four seasons. To thrive in such climates, trees have …

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 …

In trees, production of intercellular signals and accessibility of signal conduits jointly govern
dormancy cycling at the shoot apex. We identified 10 putative cell wall 1, 3-β-glucanase …

A key feature of the perennial life style in plants is the ability to cease meristem activity and
to establish a dormant state in which the meristem is rendered insensitive to growth …

Key message We demonstrate that, beyond leaf phenology, the phenological cycles of wood
and fine roots present clear responses to environmental drivers in temperate and boreal …

Modelling phenology is crucial to assess the impact of climate change on the length of the
canopy duration and the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. Focusing on six dominant …

The onset of the growing season of trees has been earlier by 2.3 days per decade during the
last 40 years in temperate Europe because of global warming. The effect of temperature on …

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