Trees growing in boreal and temperate regions synchronize their growth with seasonal
climatic changes in adaptive responses that are essential for their survival. These trees …

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

In plants, restoring intercellular communication is required for cell activity in buds during the
growth transition from slow to fast growth after dormancy release. However, the epigenetic …

In boreal and temperate ecosystems, temperature signal regulates the reactivation of growth
(bud break) in perennials in the spring. Molecular basis of temperature-mediated control of …

In temperate and boreal ecosystems, seasonal cycles of growth and dormancy allow
perennial plants to adapt to winter conditions. We show, in hybrid aspen trees, that …

Bud-break is an economically and environmentally important process in trees and shrubs
from boreal and temperate latitudes, but its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood …

Background How plants adapt their developmental patterns to regular seasonal changes is
an important question in biology. The annual growth cycle in perennial long-lived trees is yet …

Perennials in boreal and temperate ecosystems display seasonally synchronized growth. In
many tree species, prior to the advent of winter, exposure to photoperiods shorter than a …

Temperate perennials require exposure to chilling temperatures to resume growth in the
following spring. Growth and dormancy cycles are controlled by complex genetic regulatory …

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the experiments by Garner and Allard that showed
that plants measure the duration of the night and day (the photoperiod) to time flowering …
