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

The perennial life strategy of temperate trees relies on establishing a dormant stage during
winter to survive unfavorable conditions. To overcome this dormant stage, trees require cool …

Stone fruit trees of genus Prunus, like other temperate woody species, need to accumulate a
cultivar-specific amount of chilling during endodormancy, and of heat during ecodormancy …

The Orchidaceae is of economic and ecological importance and constitutes˜ 10% of all seed
plant species. Here, we report a genome physical map for Cymbidium sinense, a well …

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

Bud dormancy is an evolved trait that confers adaptation to harsh environments, and affects
flower differentiation, crop yield and vegetative growth in perennials. ABA is a stress …

The floral initiation in angiosperms is a complex process influenced by endogenous and
exogenous signals. With this approach, we aim to provide a comprehensive review to …

Bud dormancy is indispensable for the survival of perennial plants in cold winters. Abscisic

In 2010, a major scientific milestone was achieved for tree fruit crops: publication of the first
draft whole genome sequence (WGS) for apple (Malus domestica). This WGS, v1. 0, was …

Adequate chill is of great importance for successful production of deciduous fruit trees.
However, temperate fruit trees grown under tropical and subtropical regions may face …
