“…As flowering is the first step of sexual reproduction, thus the timing of the transition from vegetative growth to generative development is very important in agriculture, horticulture or plant breeding Nocker, 2001). During juvenile period plants are insensitive to any flowering inductive factor and are not able to form reproductive organs.…”

“…Much effort is being put into regulating the timing of flowering. Depending on particular species sensitivity to photoperiod, the transition of apex to the reproductive stage is affected by the duration of light (Leavy and Dean, 1998;Nocker, 2001). Many flowering-time studies are based on Arabidopsis thaliana model because classic events, the daylenght sensing mechanisms can be light mediated .…”

“…Vernalization has been suggested as a requirement for floret formation (differentiation) in pecan (Amling and Amling, 1983). In Arabidopsis, a fundamental mechanism of the photoperiodic and autonomous pathways was delivery of sugar to the shoot apex (van Nocker, 2001). Vernalization and autonomous pathways converge on the negative regulation of flowering locus C (Ausín et al, 2004).…”

Alternate bearing of pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] remains the leading problem of the industry. Several cultural practices have been developed or improved to mitigate alternate bearing. Premature defoliation was one problem identified that substantially decreased return bloom. The objective of this study was to determine the response of individual shoots exposed to various defoliation treatments. In one study, individual vegetative or bearing shoots were hand-defoliated in mid-September. Defoliation was the basal one-half, distal one-half, entire shoot, or not defoliated. Another study applied the same defoliation treatments to bearing shoots in July, August, or September. Defoliation had minimal effects on return bloom and rarely affected the percentage of current-season shoots fruiting the next year. Defoliation date also had little effect on return bloom. These data indicate that individual shoot response to defoliation was not autonomous and has implications for determining crop overload and needed mechanical fruit thinning.
