Exploring bud dormancy completion with a combined architectural and phenological analysis: the case of apple trees in contrasting winter temperature conditions.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The branching pattern and phenology of trees result from interactions between the tree's genetic constitution and environmental conditions. Temperature strongly affects the duration of bud dormancy and further shoot growth. Our hypothesis was that shoot architecture is strongly affected by winter temperatures determining both the position and budburst of vegetative laterals with a lower...
