Bud dormancy allows perennial plants to survive winter, but insufficient winter chill under warming climates disrupts this natural cycle and reduces flowering quality. This study identifies the ...

Epigenetics confers a survival advantage in plants to endure harsh weather by inducing bud dormancy. Environmental factors or intrinsic signals trigger the transition between growth and dormancy.

Analysis of the moisture content of litchi terminal buds at various developmental stages. (a) Litchi terminal buds at different developmental stages (S1 represents dormancy stage, S2 represents bud ...

Bud dormancy is an essential adaptive mechanism that enables perennial plants to survive unfavourable environmental conditions by temporarily suspending growth. This state is controlled by ...

Researchers have developed a model that uses gene activity to predict when Somei Yoshino cherry tree buds awake from dormancy. Their findings could not only help improve the accuracy of flowering ...

Plant growth regulation and bud development constitute central processes in plant biology that determine overall architecture, reproductive success and the response to environmental challenges. These ...
