Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Almond bud fresh and dry weight increased in July and August.
- Observation Almond buds progressively dehydrated until late September.
- Observation ABA and GA-like activity initially rose and subsequently fell during the seasonal bud changes.
- Observation Bud weight gradually increased from October to January.
- Observation ABA and GA were low from October to January.
- Observation ABA levels in bud-failure plants were much lower than normal.
- Observation GA activity in bud-failure plants was comparable to normal.
- Mechanism The authors characterize BF symptom development by lower ABA production during July–August.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesize disruption of normal bud rest induction and recovery.
