Elucidating the genetic mechanisms of flowering and the repression of floral initiation by fruit in apple (Malus x Domestica Borkh.) / Christopher Charles Gottschalk.

Many tree fruit crops exhibit yearly cyclical fluctuations in flowering and fruiting, including apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.). This phenomenon, known as biennial bearing, is an intriguing biological problem, as well as a production limitation of many high-value apple cultivars. The current hypoth...
