e1“Experiments with olive ( Olea europaea L.) shoot explants were carried out to determine the influence of winter chilling on the release of axillary buds from dormancy”
e4“Floral bud abscission, increase in bud fresh weight, and simultaneous decrease of relative bud dry weight were associated with growth initiation of floral buds”
Title

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Growth of olive floral buds from leafy explants was first recorded in samples from 5 January.
- Observation The percentage of developing floral buds and their rate of development increased after that date.
- Association Floral bud abscission was associated with growth initiation of floral buds.
- Association Bud fresh weight increased with growth initiation of olive floral buds.
- Mechanism Leaves play a critical role in olive floral bud development once buds have completed dormancy.
- Intervention effect Supplementary chilling at 7.2 C was sufficient to complete chilling requirements of isolated olive shoots.
- Intervention effect Supplementary chilling at 12.5 C allowed the proper temperature for subsequent olive floral bud growth, with chilling requirements completed.
- Mechanism Winter chilling is required to release previously initiated olive floral buds from dormancy.
