Apical Dominance and Apical Control in Apples
Abstract
Branching in apples is determined by two main mechanism. These are apical dominance
(paradormancy) and apical control (acrotony). Apical dominance is the inhibition exerted by the shoot
apex over axillary bud outgrowth, whereas apical control is the repression of a lateral branch growth
by dominating branchs above it. These mechanisms determined the canopy development are under
control genetic factors such as rootstock and variety. The effects of the apical mechanims can be
reduced with different applications such as heading and the use of plant growth regulators such as 6-
benzyladenine (BA). Understanding these mechanisms are important for branched nursery tree
production, pruning and training. Hormones, environmental factors, nutritional effects, assimilate
allocation and gravimorphism may affect branching process. In this study, studies about apical
mechanisms were examined, the gathered information was summarised and the results of scientific
research which producers can tranfer into practice are presented.
