Dormancy is a physiological state that plants enter for winter hardiness. Environmental-
induced dormancy onset and release in temperate perennials coordinate growth cessation …

Flower bud dormancy in temperate fruit tree species, such as almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.)
DA Webb], is a survival mechanism that ensures that flowering will occur under suitable …

Temperate deciduous fruit tree species like sweet cherry (Prunus avium) require long
periods of low temperatures to trigger dormancy release and flowering. In addition to …

Temperate fruit trees belonging to Prunus species have the ability to suspend (induce
dormancy) and resume growth periodically in response to environmental and seasonal …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are important regulators of diverse biological processes of plants.
However, the evolution and potential functions of circRNAs during winter dormancy and …

Winter dormancy is an adaptative mechanism that temperate and boreal trees have
developed to protect their meristems against low temperatures. In apple trees (Malus …

Abstract Chinese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) is a stone fruit that belongs to the Prunus
genus and plays an important role in the global production of plum. In this study, we report …

Bud dormancy is under the regulation of complex mechanisms including genetic and
epigenetic factors. To study the function of regulatory non-coding RNAs in winter dormancy …

Our previous research demonstrated that fall applications of ethephon, an ethylene-
releasing plant growth regulator, delay bloom in peach, accompanied by changes in …

Endodormancy is one of the most studied physiological processes in perennial plants like
apricot. This period is vital both for the tree survival against the adverse climatic conditions of …
