“…This means that, in most cases, the flowering period is the unique information available to assess the adaptation of a cultivar. Flowering periods are usually related to a reference cultivar (e.g., 'Burlat' in sweet cherry) [5] and successfully used for spring frost risk assessment and for pollination purposes, to predict flowering overlap between pollinating and pollinated cultivars. However, assessing the possible adaptation to an area based on relative flowering dates has many limitations, and temperature requirements offer a more reliable approach [111].…”

Chilling and Heat Requirements of Temperate Stone Fruit Trees (Prunus sp.)

et al. 2020

Stone fruit trees of genus Prunus, like other temperate woody species, need to accumulate a cultivar-specific amount of chilling during endodormancy, and of heat during ecodormancy to flower properly in spring. Knowing the requirements of a cultivar can be critical in determining if it can be adapted to a particular area. Growers can use this information to anticipate the future performance of their orchards and the adaptation of new cultivars to their region. In this work, the available information on chilling-and heat-requirements of almond, apricot, plum, peach, and sweet cherry cultivars is reviewed. We pay special attention to the method used for the determination of breaking dormancy, the method used to quantify chilling and heat temperatures, and the place where experiments were conducted. The results reveal different gaps in the information available, both in the lack of information of cultivars with unknown requirements and in the methodologies used. The main emerging challenges are the standardization of the conditions of each methodology and the search for biological markers for dormancy. These will help to deal with the growing number of new cultivars and the reduction of winter cold in many areas due to global warming.Agronomy 2020, 10, 409 2 of 32 (2.4 million t in 0.4 million ha), almond (2.2 million t in 1.9 million ha) and sour cherry (1.2 million t in 0.2 million ha) [2].Stone fruit trees, like other temperate woody species, need to accumulate a cultivar-specific amount of chilling during winter to overcome dormancy and then experience warm temperatures to finally flower in spring [3][4][5]. These conditions the adaptation of species and cultivars to each region [6] and it is the main drawback for their extension to warmer latitudes [7]. Knowing the temperature requirements of a cultivar can be useful for growers to anticipate the future performance of their orchards and to design new orchards taking into account the predicted global warming [7][8][9]. In this work, the available information on chilling-and heat-requirements of cultivars of the most cultivated stone fruit crops (almond, apricot, peach, plum and cherry) is reviewed, paying special attention to the approach used for the determination of breaking dormancy, the method used to quantify chilling and heat temperatures, and the place where the experiments were conducted. There is extensive information available about chilling and heat requirements that has purposefully been omitted from this review. We have only included those studies that a) obtained results by using an experimental methodology (i.e., transferring shoots into a growth chamber sequentially during winter) or computational/statistical approaches that relate flowering dates to temperature data over a sufficiently long time series, and b) quantified chilling and heat temperatures using the common models (Chilling Hours model, Utah model or Dynamic model for chilling requirements, Growing Degree Hours for heat requirements).

“…These reserves are carbohydrates stored as starch and is the main reserve in vascular plants (Bahaji et al, 2014). Previous studies have shown the contribution of starch as an energy source during flowering, budding, pollination, and fruit setting in both perennial and deciduous species (Boldingh et al, 2016;Guerra & Rodrigo, 2015;Klein, Vitasse, & Hoch, 2016;Tixier et al, 2017). Similarly, starch hydrolysis provides soluble carbohydrates that allow the survival of perennial structures (Dietze et al, 2014), or support periods of stress (Martínez-Vilalta et al, 2016).…”

Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) fruits are stronger sinks and is known its development may be more than four times higher than that allocated to branch growth during the annual production cycle. However, the origin and carbohydrates distribution used during the fruiting development are not yet known. Four assimilates sources are potentially available for fruit growth: (i) the photoassimilates produced by the fruit itself, (ii) branch reserves, (iii) leaf reserves and (iv) the current photosynthesis that occurs during fruit growth. To better understand the carbohydrate dynamics, its allocation in coffee fruits and to evaluate fruit dependence on other tree parts at the bean-filling stage, four carbohydrates sources were imposed in fully mature trees in Northeast of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Variables such as total sugar and dry mass were analyzed. We observed that leaves from the nodes are very important for fruit development. Comparison between fruits with leaves and fruits without leaves clearly revealed its influence on dry matter and total sugars accumulation in the fruits. The removal or covering of leaves near fruits limits the development of fruit.

“…It is a self-infertile diploid (2n = 16) species. Most cultivars grown today are from selections from Japan, where it is also an ancient crop (Faust & Surányi 1999;Guerra & Rodrigo 2015;Yoshida 1987).…”

Relative abundance and movement of flower visitors within ‘Black Doris’ plum orchards in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

The Japanese plum 'Black Doris' (Prunus salicina) is a self-infertile early-flowering crop so insufficient cross pollination and lack of pollinators could be factors to explain reported poor fruit set. This project assessed the relative abundance of flower visitors within a plum orchard and their movements among three orchards, as part of a wider study on plum pollination. Insect surveys conducted over three days across one orchard in 2014 identified a total of 479 individual pollinators. Honey bees represented 94.6% of all pollinators observed. To assess pollinator movement across the crop, 140 individual flower visitors were followed over a five-day period in 2014 and again in 2015 across three orchards. Bumble bees moved further within the orchard and visited more trees per minute than foraging honey bees, while silvereyes visited more than twice as many flowers per minute than any other insect flower visitor.
