Abstract
- This article, published in the Journal of Experimental Botany, reinterprets the concept of olive bud dormancy. The authors argue that olive buds do not undergo true physiological dormancy, but rather go through a process of para-dormancy and eco-dormancy. They discuss the challenges of studying bud dormancy in olive trees, which are evergreen and have different growth patterns compared to deciduous trees. The article also explores the relationship between cold temperatures and flowering in olive trees, highlighting the role of the FT gene in promoting flower induction. Overall, the authors suggest that further research is needed to better understand the reproductive biology of olive trees and improve olive production. [Extracted from the article]
