Dormancy in temperate fruit trees is a mechanism of temporary growth suspension, which is vital for tree survival during winter. Studies on this phenomenon frequently employ scientific methods that aim to detect the timing of dormancy release. Dormancy release occurs when trees have been exposed to sufficient chill, allowing them to resume growth under conducive conditions.

This study pioneers an in-depth analysis of the 'Callista' cultivar, aiming to unravel how harvest timing, annual variations, and cultivation location synergistically influence its molecular profile, sensory perception, and biochemistry.

Such cropping pattern is defined as biennial bearing and causes significant losses in apple production.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe cropping behavior of biennial apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cultivars is irregular and often follows a biennial bearing pattern with 'On' years (high crop load and inhibited floral bud formation) followed by 'Off' years (little crop load and a promoted formation of floral buds). To study proteomic differences between floral and vegetative buds, trees of the strongly alternating cultivar 'Fuji' and the regular bearing cultivar 'Gala' were either completely thinned or not thinned at full bloom to establish two cropping treatments with no ('Off') or a high ('On') crop load, respectively.

This study identifies the onset and duration of bud initiation in the apple cultivars 'Fuji' and 'Gala', characterized by biennial and non-biennial bearing behaviour, respectively, and describes the effect of crop load and heat accumulation on the temporal pattern of floral development.
