Introduction
Our team is advancing the knowledge on key physiological and genetic regulation of flower bud induction, biennial bearing and winter dormancy in apple. In our research, we use the following methods: histological bud tissue sectioning, proteomic and metabolic profiling (ESI-MS), phytohormone analysis (MRM), analysis of carbohydrates (LC-MS) and RNA sequencing (transcriptomics).

Article
Dormancy in temperate fruit trees is a mechanism of temporary growth suspension, which is vital for tree survival during winter. Studies on this phenomenon frequently employ scientific methods that aim to detect the timing of dormancy release. Dormancy release occurs when trees have been exposed to sufficient chill, allowing them to resume growth u...

One way of avoiding damage regularly caused by late frost events in spring in pome fruit crops is to grow late-flowering varieties. If flowering takes place late enough, considerable yield losses can be avoided. There are studies that show that late flowering has already been the subject to research and breeding. However, there is still no variety...

Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are essential ingredients in brewing, contributing to beer’s flavor, aroma, and stability. This study pioneers an in-depth analysis of the 'Callista' cultivar, aiming to unravel how harvest timing, annual variations, and cultivation location synergistically influence its molecular profile, sensory perception, and biochemis...

Growth chamber experiment with potted apple trees. In this project, we aimed to find out whether apple production is possible in the complete absence of natural chilling temperatures in winter.

Apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cropping behavior, if not regulated, is often manifested by high yields of small-sized fruit in so called ON-years, which are usually followed by strongly reduced crop loads in OFF-years. Such cropping pattern is defined as biennial bearing and causes significant losses in apple production. The growth of apple fruit...
Article
Among other fruit crops, many apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivars are prone to alternate, or biennial bearing, which can be described as irregular cropping with high yields in “ON”-years and low or no crop load in the subsequent “OFF”-years. Such cropping behavior causes economic losses in commercial apple production and needs to be artifici...

The cropping behavior of biennial apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cultivars is irregular and often follows a biennial bearing pattern with ‘On’ years (high crop load and inhibited floral bud formation) followed by ‘Off’ years (little crop load and a promoted formation of floral buds). To study proteomic differences between floral and vegetative bud...
Article
Bud dormancy is characterized by the temporal suspension of growth and developmental processes of temperate tree crops that allows them to withstand low temperatures during the winter period. Fruit trees have specific chill requirement to break dormancy and to proceed with normal flowering behavior; however, the lack of chill may negatively affect...

The induction of flower buds in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) is tightly connected to biennial bearing, which is characterized by alternating years with high (ON) and low or no (OFF) crop loads. In order to study this irregular cropping behavior, spur buds from ON- and OFF-trees of the biennial-bearing cultivar ‘Fuji’ and the regular bearing cul...

The reproductive cycle of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) starts with the induction of floral development, however, first morphological changes within the bud appear during the following period of bud initiation. This study identifies the onset and duration of bud initiation in the apple cultivars ‘Fuji’ and ‘Gala’, characterized by biennial and n...

The two major factors determining crop load in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), are flower density and fruit set, respectively (Hanke et al. 2007). As fruit set can be adjusted to some extent by flower or fruitlet thinning, the critical factor is the number of flower buds per tree (Dennis 2003). Fruit growers aim for stable numbers of flower buds ev...
