Unraveling metabolic shifts in peach under agrochemical treatments during flower bud endodormancy in the context of global warming.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In Mediterranean areas like Spain, global warming has endangered stone fruit production by reducing chill accumulation, leading to significant agronomical and economical losses. To mitigate this issue, agrochemicals have been applied for decades to promote endodormancy release and initiate flowering. However, many of these chemicals have been associated with strong phytotoxicity, resulting in their recent ban. As a result, identifying novel pathways to modulate endodormancy release is critical and essential for developing effective, non-toxic agrobiochemicals.

Methods

In this study, we investigated the effect of two different agrochemicals mixes: 1% Broston^® + 5% NitroActive^® and 3% Erger^® + 5% Activ Erger^®, sprayed on
