Dormancy is a complex phenomenon under physiological and biochemical controls; it is crucial for the development of flower buds in temperate-zone fruit species. The climatic-environmental factor may heavily influence the overcoming of bud dormancy in several fruit species. During the winter season, free radicals are formed in dormant buds and their removal is necessary to maintain metabolic integrity to induce bud break. Free-oxygen radical scavenging is achieved through the action of enzymes and antioxidant compounds such as glutathione.

Abstract
Dormancy is a complex phenomenon under physiological and biochemical controls; it is crucial for the development of flower buds in temperate-zone fruit species. The climatic-environmental factor may heavily influence the overcoming of bud dormancy in several fruit species. During the winter season, free radicals are formed in dormant buds and their removal is necessary to maintain metabolic integrity to induce bud break. Free-oxygen radical scavenging is achieved through the action of enzymes and antioxidant compounds such as glutathione.File in questo prodotto:
