This work aimed to evaluate biweekly water content (WC), content of total soluble sugars (TSS), sucrose content and starch during the winter period (June to September) in tissues of pear cvs. Housui and Packham's and peach cvs. Eldorado and Jubileu of the orchards belonging to the Agricultural Center of Palma UFPel. During data collection, four branches were collected from each cultivar were divided into three positions (basal, median, apical) to assess where the WC, they were divided in two tissues: bark and wood. It was found in pear cultivars in both tissue and skin tissue in the wood, do not show large differences in the dynamics of WC in the three positions studied during the winter period. However, peach WC on the wood was examined in more than one shell in the three positions of the branch. The observed increase in WC can be a physiological marker to break dormancy. This different behavior can be attributed to the accumulation of cold. Regarding the dynamics of carbohydrate species in the study behaved differently. In peach there was a significant increase in carbohydrate content in the apical position around the time of shooting, not unlike what was observed in the case of the pear. The lack of cold and thermal fluctuations directly affect the activity of hydrolytic enzymes, which explains the lack of starch degradation in the tissues of the pear. The two species have different requirements in relation to the accumulation of cold, explaining the different behavior in the dynamics of water and carbohydrates in the winter rest period. / A translocação de água e carboidratos nos tecidos de plantas frutíferas de clima temperado ainda gera dúvidas no campo científico e sabe-se que é um fator determinante para superação da dormência, pois para haver brotação das gemas é necessário que haja importação de açúcares solúveis, aos quais são provenientes da conversão do amido nos tecidos adjacentes. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar quinzenalmente o conteúdo de água (CA), conteúdo de açúcares solúveis totais (AST), conteúdo de sacarose e amido, durante o período hibernal (junho à setembro) em tecidos de pereira cvs. Housui e Packham´s e pessegueiro cvs. Jubileu e Eldorado dos pomares pertencentes ao Centro Agropecuário da Palma da UFPel. A cada coleta foram coletados quatro ramos de cada cultivar e divididos em três posições (basal, mediana, apical) onde para avaliação do CA, estes foram divididos em dois tecidos: casca e lenho. Foi verificado nas cultivares de pereira tanto no tecido da casca quanto no tecido do lenho, não apresentar grandes diferenças na dinâmica do CA nas três posições avaliadas durante o período hibernal. No entanto, no pessegueiro o CA no lenho foi superior a aquele analisado na casca nas três posições do ramo. O aumento do CA verificado pode ser um marcador fisiológico para superação da dormência. Este comportamento diferenciado pode ser atribuído ao acúmulo de frio. Em relação à dinâmica dos carboidratos, as espécies do estudo comportaram-se de maneira diferenciada. No pessegueiro houve um aumento significativo no conteúdo de carboidratos na posição apical próximo ao período de brotação, o que contrariamente não foi verificado no caso da pereira. A falta de frio e as oscilações térmicas afetam diretamente a atividade das enzimas hidrolíticas, ao qual explica a falta de degradação do amido nos tecidos da pereira. As duas espécies apresentam exigências diferenciadas em relação ao acúmulo de frio, justificando o comportamento diferenciado na dinâmica da água e carboidratos no período de repouso hibernal.

Le pommier (Malus Xdomestica Borkh.) cultivé en climat à hiver doux, avec un manque d'une quantité suffisante d'heures de températures froides, présente des anomalies morphologiques et physiologiques. Sur le plan de la phénologie, il s'agit notamment d'un débourrement printanier tardif et désynchronisé entre les différents bourgeons d'un même arbre. Sur le plan agronomique, la floraison et la nouaison sont irrégulières et étalées dans le temps et conduisent à une faible production de fruits. L'objectif de ce travail de thèse est premièrement de mieux caractériser les effets des températures hivernales sur le débourrement et la croissance des bourgeons axillaires en distinguant les effets respectifs des températures hivernales et du génotype. Il s'agit ensuite de vérifier l'hypothèse que les effets des températures sur le débourrement du bourgeon s'effectue via les effets sur son statut hydrique. Les travaux ont été réalisés en France et au Brésil. En France, les expérimentations ont porté sur quatre cultivars à fort besoin (‘Granny Smith', ‘Royal Gala', ‘Starkrimson') ou faible besoin (‘Condessa') en froid, cultivés en hiver froid (conditions extérieures) et doux (serres climatisées). Nous montrons que le débourrement résulte d'une séquence d'évènements où la température hivernale joue un rôle primordial sur les mécanismes de sortie de dormance et donc sur le débourrement proprement dit, durant la période froide. Les caractéristiques propres du cultivar jouent par contre un rôle dans la croissance ultérieure des bourgeons et donc dans l'architecture finale de la pousse du pommier. Par ailleurs, la chute tardive des feuilles, caractéristique du pommier en hiver doux, a peu d'effets sur le débourrement et la croissance des bourgeons. L'analyse du statut hydrique des bourgeons a été réalisée sur le tiers distal des pousses de pommier caractérisé par une forte fréquence de ramification en climat à hiver froid. Nous montrons que, dans la période allant de l'endordormance à la phase de pré-débourrement, la conductance hydraulique à la jonction entre l'axe porteur et le bourgeon varie peu au cours de l'hiver et entre cultivars. Par ailleurs, durant cette même période le potentiel hydrique intra-bourgeon reste négatif, entre -4.35 and -2.24 MPa. Enfin, quel que soit le cultivar, nous ne montrons pas de relation entre les températures hivernales, le potentiel hydrique ou la teneur relative en eau des bourgeons, et l'aptitude au débourrement ultérieur. Ces résultats suggèrent que le bourgeon est hydrauliquement isolé de son axe porteur pendant toute la période hivernale jusqu'à quelques jours précédant le débourrement. Les expérimentations au Brésil ont porté sur le cultivar ‘Eva ‘ à faible besoin en froid, cultivés en conditions naturelles d'hiver doux. Il s'agissait de vérifier les effets possibles de la position du bourgeon le long de l'axe porteur sur sa taille et sa teneur relative en eau. Nous montrons que, tout au long de l'hiver, les bourgeons distaux sont caractérisés par une plus grande taille et une teneur relative en eau plus élevée que les bourgeons proximaux avec une forte augmentation de la teneur relative en eau une semaine avant le débourrement printanier. Le débourrement acrotone semble donc résulter d'une évolution rapide du statut hydrique du bourgeon en fin d'écodormance. L'ensemble des résultats acquis en France et au Brésil, sur des cultivars caractérisés par des besoins variables en froid hivernal, indique que l'aptitude au débourrement printanier des bourgeons de pommier est davantage lié à un « effet rameau entier » qu'au statut hydrique proprement dit des bourgeons individuels, tout au moins jusqu'à quelques jours avant le débourrement effectif. La pousse annuelle de pommier apparait donc comme une unité morphologique et physiologique intégrée qui, dans un contexte climatique donné, conditionne le statut hydrique de chaque bourgeon et son aptitude au débourrement. / The apple tree (Malus Xdomestica Borkh.) presents morphological and physiological anomalies when grown in mild winter climates with insufficient winter chilling to overcome winter dormancy. Symptoms are typically delayed and erratic budburst, entailing desynchronized flowering and fruit-set and poor agronomic performances. This thesis aimed at gaining more insights on the following issues. Firstly, what are the effects of winter temperatures on axillary burdburst and bud outgrowth, and what are the respective effects of winter temperatures and cultivar?, and secondly, is there a link between the temperature-dependent budburst and bud water status? Works were done in France and Brazil. In France, experiments were carried out in controlled conditions on four apple cultivars characterized by either high chilling (‘Granny Smith', ‘Royal Gala', ‘Starkrimson') or low chilling (‘Condessa') requirements and were submitted to outdoor-cold and greenhouse-mild winter temperatures. We showed that the actual shoot architecture and budburst resulted from an ordered sequence of events with a pivotal role of winter temperatures on the dormancy completion of individual lateral buds. Endogenous factors related to the cultivar branching pattern overtook the temperature effect on the lateral bud outgrowth. Furthermore, the delayed senescence and subsequent leaf persistence during winter, characterizing the apple tree in the mild winter temperature conditions, had only a weak effect on the topological distribution of budburst and lateral outgrowth. The analyses of bud water status were done on distal buds only, characterized by high budburst frequency in cold winter conditions. We showed that, from endodormancy to the pre-budburst stage, xylem conductance at the stem-to-bud junction did not show consistent changes across cultivars and winter temperature treatments. Bud water potential had negative values, between -4.35 and -2.24 MPa, depending on cultivars and winter temperature treatments. Moreover, whatever the cultivar, there were no significant trends across dates for the effects of winter temperatures on bud water potential and relative water content without a consistent relationship with actual spring budburst frequency. These results suggested that lateral buds were hydraulically isolated from the parent stem during winter until a few days before budburst. The other set of experiments was carried out in Brazil, under mild winter conditions, on the low chilling apple cultivar ‘Eva'. The objectives were to gain more insights on the effect of the position of the over-wintering lateral bud along the whole-parent shoot on bud size and water content. Results highlighted that distal buds were larger and had a higher water content than proximal buds with a strong increase of water content a week before spring budburst. It was concluded that the acrotonic pattern of budburst was mainly established during ecodormancy. As a whole, we showed that spring budburst seemed more related to a whole-shoot effect than to the water status of the individual bud during winter dormancy. Our study substantiated the importance of the whole shoot as an integrated morphological and physiological unit in driving budburst and further growth.

Assim, na presente tese foram estudados três temas de pesquisa. No tema 1 estudou-se a distribuição e fenologia da brotação e crescimento inicial da ramificação primaveril; No tema 2 estudou-se a brotação primaveril através da determinação do status hídrico de gemas laterais e da condutância hidráulica do xilema. O tema 3 realizou-se a análise do comportamento da brotação primaveril de uma cultivar de baixo exigência em frio cultivada em inverno ameno. Para isso, foram montados dois dispositivos experimentais: Experimento 1: realizado em Montpellier/França, onde foram estudadas quatro cultivares de macieira, com diferentes requerimentos em frio (‘Condessa’, ‘Granny Smith’, ‘Royal Gala’ e ‘Starkrimson’), submetidas a dois regimes térmicos (inverno frio, condições naturais de Montpellier; e inverno ameno, temperatura controlada em casa-de-vegetação). Experimento 2: realizado com a cultivar de baixo requerimento em frio ‘Eva’ sob regime térmico hibernal ameno (condição natural de Capão do leão/Brasil). A partir do experimento 1, dois artigos foram redigidos . Conclui-se a partir dos resultados obtidos (artigos 1 e 2) que as temperaturas hibernais têm o principal efeito na distribuição da ramificação ao longo do eixo principal e no tempo para brotação; a presença de folha das plantas submetidas ao regime térmico de inverno ameno não afeta a distribu ição de ramos prolépticos vegetativos; a cultivar exerce efeito no crescimento da ramificação. Com relação ao status hídrico, conclui-se que durante o inverno (período de dormência) as gemas laterais permanecem hidraulicamente isoladas do eixo principal; assim como o potencial de brotação está relacionado a um efeito ramo inteiro (todo eixo principal) do que ao potencial individual de cada gema lateral. Através do experimento 2, um artigo foi elaborado, tendo por objetivo testar a hipótese que a posição em que a gema lateral está localizada sobre o eixo principal têm efeito na brotação primaveril, no conteúdo de água e tamanho das mesmas. Pode-se concluir deste estudo que uma semana antes a brotação, as gemas localizadas na zona distal possuem maior potencial de crescimento (maior frequência de brotação e menor tempo médio para brotação), além de apresentarem maior umidade ponderal e tamanho. / The apple tree (Malus X domestica Borkh.) presents morphological and physiological anomalies when grown in mild winter climates with insufficient winter chilling to overcome winter dormancy.
