Apple tree adaptation to shade in agroforestry: an architectural approach

Abstract: PREMISE The expression of shade adaptation traits is expected to be stronger in low light and can be detrimental to flowering and yield. Our study focused on the expression of shade adaptation traits of apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh. ‘Dalinette’) in an agroforestry system. METHODS The architecture of 45 apple trees in their third and fourth year was extensively described and analyzed at the tree scale and compared depending on the light quantity received during the growing season. Flower cluster phenology… Show more

“…In conditions of low light intensity, plants tend to dedicate more resources towards enlarging the surface area of their leaves and enhancing their capacity to capture light. Therefore, SLA of plants at low light conditions is generally high ( Sevillano et al., 2016 ; Pitchers et al., 2021 ; Tang et al., 2022 ). For example, Paź-Dyderska et al.…”

“…In conditions of low light intensity, plants tend to dedicate more resources towards enlarging the surface area of their leaves and enhancing their capacity to capture light. Therefore, SLA of plants at low light conditions is generally high (Sevillano et al, 2016;Pitchers et al, 2021;Tang et al, 2022). For example, Paz-Dyderska et al ( 2020) measured the SLA of the sunny and shaded leaves of 179 woody plants, except for a very few species, the SLA of the shade leaves in most plants is greater than that of full-light leaves.…”

“…Boini and others (18) , in line with Severino and others (2) , conclude that sun damage is more related to water status than to radiation. On the other hand, the use of nets, whether aiming to reduce sun damage, hail damage or for phytosanitary protection, presents adverse effects on color picking in two-tone cultivars (7) and, depending on the level of shading, it could affect floral induction and the vegetative/reproductive ratio (21) .…”
