A Review on Physiological and Molecular Basis of Alternate Bearing in Perennial Fruit Crops
Résumé
Regular flowering is the key event that determines the reproductive success and production of perennial fruit crops. Different elements, including environment, germplasm, rootstocks, and the cultural practises, might have an impact on successful bearing. In perennial fruit crops, the phenomena of erratic bearing is more prevalent. Therefore, it is crucial to control the flowering phenology in order to assure regular yield of high-quality fruits. The goal of the current review is to understand the physiological and molecular aspects of regular and alternate bearing along with the impact of different factors on perennial fruit crops.
