Project description:Apples (Malus x domestica Borkh, Gala variety) grown in commercial orchards were harvested at maturity and maintained 2 months in cold storage with or without 1-MCP treatment.
Project description:Closed terminal buds of apple trees (Malus x domestica Borkh, Royal Gala and Castel Gala varieties) grown in commercial orchards were harvested during autumn and winter and exposed to cold treatments

Project description:Effect of the presence of fruits on the expression of genes possibly involved in floral induction in the terminal meristem of spur bourse shoot. Investigation on mecanisms involved in Biennial Bearing in mature apple trees cultivar Royal Gala. Two-condition experiment : 'ON' trees (unthinned control) & 'OFF' trees (deflowered) for comparison. Three comparisons at sampling dates : 28, 48 and 119 days after full bloom (DAFB). Two dye switch biological replicates for each treatment and sampling date.
