Direct and delayed climate impact on pine architecture and phenology
...
Goals In this study, we tried to quantify the influence of climate and climatic accidents (scorching heat, drought, snow) on the primary production and architectural development of five pine species growing in Mediterranean regions: Pinus halepensis, P. pinea, P. pinaster, P. nigra and P. silvestris. Measured parameters include branch length growth...
Adaptation phénologique du pin d'Alep au changement climatique
La phénologie(a) du pin d'Alep a été observée de façon continue de 2007 à 2010 sur un dispositif expérimental situé dans le domaine départemental de Font-Blanche (Bouches-du-Rhône). Des mesures de croissance ont été effectuées annuellement le long d'un transect altitudinal allant de 80 m sur la côte (Saint-Mitre, Bouches-du-Rhône) jusqu'à 650 m (Si...
Seeing the fruit for the trees in Borneo
The recent mass fruiting of forest trees in Borneo is an urgent wakeup call: existing policy instruments, financial mechanisms, and forestry infrastructure are inadequate to take full advantage of these infrequent opportunities for forest restoration and conservation. Tropical forest restoration can provide substantial benefits for biodiversity con...
Is axis position within tree architecture a determinant of axis morphology, branching, flowering and fruiting? An essay ...
Published in Annals of botany
Growth and reproductive strategies of plants are often related to particular, although usually poorly characterized, spatial distributions of shoots within the plant's architecture. In this study it is therefore hypothesized that a close relationship exists between architectural position, axis morphology (length, diameter, leaf area), and functiona...
Growth unit dimorphism in mango. Consequences for structure-function modelling
Computer models that treat plants as consisting of elementary units have become increasingly popular. The core of such a model is the description of what happens in a single element.... A computer program takes care of all the elements and integrates their activities to the functioning of the whole plant. Both the 3-D architecture and the metabolic...
Season effects on leaf nitrogen partitioning photosynthetic water use efficiency in mango
The key parameters of photosynthetic capacity (maximum carboxylation rate (V-max), electron transport capacity (J(max)) and dark respiration rate (R-d)) and the slope (m) of the stomatal conductance model of Ball et at. [Progress in photosynthetic research, Martinus Nijhoff, Dordrecht, 1987] were measured for a whole growing season in fully expande...
Manipulations de l'architecture des arbres pour la production fruitière

Progress in whole-tree architectural studies for Apple cultivar characterization at INRA, France - Contribution to the i...
In France, the determination of fruiting type and tree ideotype has been a first step in the description of the variability of the whole-tree shape in relation to fruiting behaviour. Although the ranking into four ideotypes gives an easy-to-use criterion to discriminate between cultivars, it does not clearly address the various strategies of growth...
