Apple fruit growth is the result of several factors: inherent demand (relative sink strength) of the fruit (defined by the demands for cell division and expansion growth, etc.), carbon assimilation by the source leaves (source strength), and the resulting allocation to the organ in question. It is thus a complex process involving source-sink intera...

Bud dormancy is an adaptive process that allows trees to survive the hard environmental conditions that they experience during the winter of temperate climates. Dormancy is characterized by the reduction in meristematic activity and the absence of visible growth. A prolonged exposure to cold temperatures is required to allow the bud resuming growth...
Le pêcher est affecté par de nombreux insectes phytophages parmi lesquels les pucerons. Ces insectes provoquent des dégâts très important. En raison du changement climatique, leur population augmente. Pour faire face à ces dégâts l’augmentation de l’utilisation des produits phytosanitaires ne cessent d’accroitre. Des moyens alternatifs peuvent être...
As all perennial plants, fruit trees must cope with multiple environmental stresses during their life. The current progressive increase in air temperature makes fruit trees particularly fragile because of their long life during which they might accumulate stresses and the long duration of the selection process to search for more adapted materials. ...

For perennial plants, bud dormancy is a crucial step as its progression over winter determines the quality of bud break, flowering, and fruiting. In the past decades, many studies, based on metabolic, physiological, subcellular, genetic, and genomic analyses, have unraveled mechanisms underlying bud dormancy progression. Overall, all the pathways i...
