Survival and growth of temperate zone woody plants under changing seasonal conditions is
dependent on proper timing of cold acclimation and development of vegetative dormancy …

Some phenotypic effects produced in plants by light are very similar to those induced by
hormones. In this review, the light-gibberellin GA) interaction in germination, de-etiolation …

Adaptation to winter cold in temperate and boreal trees involves complex genetic,
physiological, and developmental processes. Genecological studies demonstrate the …

Spring phenology of temperate forest trees is optimized to maximize the length of the
growing season while minimizing the risk of freezing damage. The release from winter …

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 mechanisms by which different light spectra regulate plant shoot elongation vary, and
phytohormones respond differently to such spectrum-associated regulatory effects. Light …

Timing of bud burst and frost damage risk for leaves of Betula spp. in response to climatic
warming in Finland was examined with two models. In the first model, ontogenetic …

The relationships between genomic DNA cytosine methylation, histone H4 acetylation and
bud dormancy in Castanea sativa are described. Acetylated H4 histone and genomic DNA …

Dormancy in plants involves a temporary suspension of meristem growth, thus insuring bud
survival and maintenance of proper shoot system architecture. Dormancy regulation is a …

Bud formation is an adaptive trait that temperate forest trees have acquired to facilitate
seasonal synchronization. We have characterized transcriptome‐level changes that occur …
