Verbatim
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”

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.
