Biennial bearing is not a novel concept for perennial fruit trees. Biennial bearing, or alternate bearing, is characterized by a heavy crop one year (the “on” year), accompanied by little to no crop the following year (the “off” year). While environmental factors such as spring frosts and drought can initiate a biennial bearing cycle in […]5 October 2024
Severe drought and extreme temperatures are two main impacts of climate change, resulting in increased abiotic stress response from plants and an increased demand for fresh water. Breeding for functional traits such as stomatal density can enhance the climate resilience of plants. As stomata control plant-water relations, their function makes them promising targets for improving […]6 January 2024

Han Palmers is a PhD student in the laboratory for Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement (PGCI) at the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium. His research concerns the occurrence and genetic control of meiotic plasticity in apple, and its application to apple breeding. Meiosis, the reductional division, is a key process in plant reproduction […]30 March 2022
