Recent Advances in Genetics and Molecular Control of Bud Dormancy in Pipfruits

Advances in Plant Dormancy

Abstract

Dormancy is an adaptive mechanism that enables plants to survive unfavorable climatic conditions. This complex process is characterized by the cessation of growth from meristems, which is often accompanied by winter bud set, extensive metabolic remodeling, an acquired high tolerance to cold and/or water deficit and, in deciduous trees, by leaf senescence and abscission. Temperate fruit crops, such as apple and pear, have great economic importance worldwide and their production is closely related to bud dormancy, given that a well-adjusted dormancy cycle is crucial for the achievement of their full genetic potential. These fruits are often classified as pipfruits because of their small hard seeds (pips) in the center of the fruit. Unlike other temperate fruit crops, such as peach and Japanese apricot, pipfruits have peculiarities related to bud dormancy, because instead of being triggered by photoperiodic changes the main regulator of this process is exposure to low temperatures. However, the recent bud dormancy models proposed to peach and poplar only takes into account the research performed in these species. Therefore, the current scenario of genetics and molecular control of bud dormancy in pipfruits is reviewed here. Progress on the identification of heritable components and candidate genes influencing the dormancy process is discussed, as well as the tools available to devise strategies for genetic and genomic analysis of pipfruits.
