The objective of this study was to manipulate the intracellular pools of sucrose, and investigate its role in regulating plant growth, phenology (leaf senescence and bud break) and fibre development. This objective was achieved by differentially expressing an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L. Heynh.) sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) gene in hybrid poplar (Populus alba L.xPopulus grandidentat...

SVP-like MADS domain transcription factors have been shown to regulate flowering time and both inflorescence and flower development in annual plants, while having effects on growth cessation and terminal bud formation in perennial species. Previously, four SVP genes were described in woody perennial vine kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.), with possible distinct roles in bud dormancy and flowering. Kiw...

This work aimed to analyse the spatial and temporal variability of response Tempranillo variety within Toro Designation Origin (DO) potential changes under climate change scenarios. The research included analysis phenology (bud break, bloom, veraison maturity) grape composition at harvest recorded in plots located seven locations DO, elevations between 667 779 m above sea level (a.s.l.). Change...

The degree of shoot branching is strongly affected by environmental conditions, such as nutrient availability. Here we demonstrate that nitrate limitation reduces shoot branching in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) both by delaying axillary bud activation and by attenuating the basipetal sequence of bud activation that is triggered following floral transition. Ammonium supply has similar effe...

In China, grape is one of the top five fruit crops for both bearing acreage and production. Recently, national production has been stalling because an increase in drought events. order to combat adverse effects on production, it imperative understand historical trend frequency during growing season. this study, we focused agricultural four growth periods grape: bud break-flowering, flowering-ve...
