Abstract:
... 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 insufficient winter chill, which has a crucial role in dormancy and productivity. The objective of this review is to discuss the challenges for dormancy and chilling requirements of temperate fruit trees, especially in warm w ...

Abstract:
... Fruit trees stop their growth over the coldest period of the year to avoid damage. To resume their growth and for successful fruit production, they need to accumulate winter chill. It is expected that global warming will diminish winter chill availability with potentially negative impacts on the viability and yield of these crops. The objective of this study was to assess the viability of seven tr ...

Abstract:
... Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is an evergreen fruit tree species of the Rosaceae, and its unique flowering time greatly hinders its production. To explore the artificial regulation of loquat flowering time, we removed the main inflorescence (by cutting it) to induce reflowering. For different loquat tree cultivars with different stages, the inflorescence was removed by cutting the main flora ...
