“…In particular, for apple (Severino et al, 2011;Cardoso et al, 2015), pear (Kretzschmar et al, 2011;Hussain et al, 2015), plum (de Carvalho et al, 2010;Ruiz et al, 2018), a period of relatively low temperatures is needed for regular budding (chill accumulation). For the case of citrus, such as oranges, these plants are usually grown in warmer climates, and exposure to cold temperatures (<5 • C) may result in chilling injuries (Yuen et al, 1995;Santos et al, 2019). When spring arrives, forcing becomes a much stronger driver of tree phenology than chilling (Luedeling et al, 2013), and a period of warm temperatures (heat accumulation) is needed for adequate blooming and fruit ripening (Arroyo et al, 2013;Drepper et al, 2020;Rodriguez et al, 2020;Cho et al, 2021).…”
