Divergence in the transcriptional landscape between low temperature and freeze shock in cultivated grapevine (Vitis vinifera)

JP Londo, AP Kovaleski, JA Lillis - Horticulture Research, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Low-temperature stresses limit the sustainability and productivity of grapevines when early
spring frosts damage young grapevine leaves. Spring conditions often expose grapevines to …

Characterization of wild North American grapevine cold hardiness using differential thermal analysis

JP Londo, AP Kovaleski - American Journal of Enology and …, 2017 - Am Soc Enol Viticulture
… The multiple linear regression obtained had a p < 0.0001 and adjusted-R 2 = 75.6%.
Within the eight interaction terms, only three were interactions with species (time 2 , σ T , and …

Deacclimation kinetics as a quantitative phenotype for delineating the dormancy transition and thermal efficiency for budbreak in Vitis species

AP Kovaleski, BI Reisch, JP Londo - AoB Plants, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Bud dormancy and cold hardiness are critical adaptations for surviving winter cold stress for
temperate perennial plant species. In grapevine, acquisition of cold hardiness requires …

[HTML][HTML] Tempo of gene regulation in wild and cultivated Vitis species shows coordination between cold deacclimation and budbreak

AP Kovaleski, JP Londo - Plant science, 2019 - Elsevier
Dormancy release, loss of cold hardiness and budbreak are critical aspects of the annual
cycle of deciduous perennial plants. Molecular control of these processes is not fully …

Woody species do not differ in dormancy progression: differences in time to budbreak due to forcing and cold hardiness

AP Kovaleski - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Budbreak is one of the most observed and studied phenological phases in perennial plants,
but predictions remain a challenge, largely due to our poor understanding of dormancy. Two …

[HTML][HTML] Performance of'Oneco'mandarin on six rootstocks in South Brazil

MP Gonzatto, AP Kovaleski, EC Brugnara… - Pesquisa …, 2011 - SciELO Brasil
The objective of this work was to assess the effect of six rootstocks on yield, fruit quality, and
growth of 'Oneco' mandarin during the first seven harvesting seasons, in Butiá, Rio Grande …

[HTML][HTML] Standardization of electrolyte leakage data and a novel liquid nitrogen control improve measurements of cold hardiness in woody tissue

AP Kovaleski, JJ Grossman - Plant Methods, 2021 - Springer
Background A variety of basic and applied research programs in plant biology require the
accurate and reliable determination of plant tissue cold hardiness. Over the past 50 years, the …

Deconstructing cold hardiness: variation in supercooling ability and chilling requirements in the wild grapevine Vitis riparia

JP Londo, AP Kovaleski - Australian journal of grape and wine …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
… While the effect of σ T varies significantly between species (Londo and Kovaleski 2017), we
did not detect any significant variation for this trait among V. riparia genotypes in this study. …

[HTML][HTML] Development of a new cold hardiness prediction model for grapevine using phased integration of acclimation and deacclimation responses

AP Kovaleski, MG North, TE Martinson… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2023 - Elsevier
… This was incorporated to acknowledge anecdotal observations that buds seem to continue
acclimating when temperatures are very low (Kovaleski personal observations). Therefore, …

Time to budbreak is not enough: cold hardiness evaluation is necessary in dormancy and spring phenology studies

MG North, AP Kovaleski - Annals of Botany, 2024 - academic.oup.com
