Plant cold hardiness varies dynamically throughout the dormant season, primarily in response to changes in temperature. Taking advantage of an extensive database of grapevine (Vitis spp.) bud hardiness measurements, Ferguson et al. describe the development of a robust, discrete-dynamic model of bud cold hardiness for three Vitis genotypes. The model will aid in the anticipation of and response to potential injury from fluctuations in winter temperature and from extreme cold events.
It has been reported that low temperatures and the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) induce the expression of CBF/DREB1 transcription factors in vegetative tissues and seedlings of Vitis vinifera and Vitis riparia and...
Perennial plants use bud dormancy as a strategy to survive stressful environments, such as cold temperatures during winter. This strategy is dependent on the ability of the dormant bud to track the length of winter...
Vitis vinifera Plant growth is commonly understood to be determined by current temperature. Using a free-air cooling and heating system in the field, Keller and Tarara (pp. 131–141) show that much of the seasonal...
