Developmental constraints mediate the reversal of temperature effects on the autumn phenology of European beech after the summer solstice

This study shows that temperature effects on autumn phenology of European beech reverse after the summer solstice due to developmental constraints, with nighttime cooling delaying bud set and daytime cooling advancing phenology.

A hierarchical abscission program regulates reproductive allocation in Prunus yedoensis and Prunus sargentii

The paper investigates the hierarchical abscission program in Prunus species, revealing species-specific reproductive strategies and a multilayered filter for fruit set determination.

Assessing plant phenological changes based on drivers of spring phenology

The paper introduces a new measure, phenological lag, to quantify spring phenology responses to climate warming and applies it to a global dataset to analyze mechanisms of phenological changes.

Spatially resolved analysis of longitudinal fruit growth in persimmon (Diospyros kaki) via three-dimensional phenotyping

This study uses 3D phenotyping to analyze spatial growth patterns in persimmon fruits, finding that growth rates vary along the fruit axis and correlate with final shape.

Differential warming at crown scale impacts walnut primary growth onset and secondary growth rate

This study shows that asymmetrical warming causes early budbreak and increased cambial activity in walnut trees, leading to uneven growth patterns.

The genome of low-chill Chinese plum 'Sanyueli' (Prunus salicina Lindl.) provides insights into the regulation of the chilling requirement of flower buds

The paper reports the genome of low-chill Chinese plum 'Sanyueli', identifies PsDAM6 gene variants, and links them to chilling requirement regulation in flower buds.

Identification and characterization of cherry (Cerasus pseudocerasus G. Don) genes in response to parthenocarpy induced by GA3 through transcriptome analysis

The paper identifies DEGs in sweet cherries responding to GA3-induced parthenocarpy and finds patterns related to hormone balance, cytoskeleton, and cell wall modification.
