Previous studies have shown a negative correlation between chilling accumulation (CA) and heat requirements (HRs) in peaches (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), consistent with findings in other plants in spring events. However, there is a lack of comparative research on the CA–HR relationship in peach varieties with different chilling requirements (CRs), and the specific impact of CA on HR reduction remains poorly described. To address this, we investigated the effects of CA on the days and HR for flowering in 54 peach varieties of differing CRs. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the effects of CA on the phenology of floral organ development in a selected peach variety. Our results indicate that, in general, peaches exhibit a reduced HR and accelerated flowering as the CA increases, but that the strength and trend of the CA–HR relationship is influenced by the CR and the variety. Low-CR varieties showed less sensitivity to CA increments, requiring higher relative increases in CA to significantly lower the HR, whereas high-CR varieties appeared to be more sensitive, with even modest changes leading to substantial reductions in HR. However, variations from this generality exist, even within varieties displaying the same rCA (the ratio of CA to CR). Additionally, we provide a summary of the relationship between the rCA and drHR in peaches of differing CRs, and identify several varieties exhibiting a strong response in the CA–HR relationship. This study also highlights the impact of CA on flower bud development, revealing slower progression under lower CA levels and accelerated growth with an increased CA. In particular, we identified the critical period of the enlargement and initiation of green scales as indicative of successful pollen grain formation. Finally, we present a schematic of the CA–HR relationship for flowering in peaches. |
