Predictive dormancy occurs when an organism enters a dormant phase before the onset of adverse conditions. For example, photoperiod and decreasing temperature are used by many plants to predict the onset of winter. Consequential dormancy occurs when organisms enter a dormant phase after adverse conditions have arisen. This is commonly found in ...
Dogwood trees – which are susceptible to a fungal infection known as dogwood anthracnose (Discula destructiva) – will sometimes send out epicormic shoots when they are dying from the disease. [8] Similarly, ash trees may develop epicormic shoots when infested by the emerald ash borer. [9] Epicormic shoots can be used in mass propagation of ...
Latent buds – axillary buds whose development is inhibited, sometimes for many years, due to the influence of apical and other buds. Also known as dormant buds. Lateral buds – a bud located on the side of the stem, usually in a leaf axil. Late wood – the portion of the annual ring that is formed after the formation of earlywood has ceased.
European beech (Fagus sylvatica) bud. In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of a stem.Once formed, a bud may remain for some time in a dormant condition, or it may form a shoot immediately.
The latent buds might be visible on the bark of the tree, or submerged under the bark as epicormic buds. They are sometimes called suckers , although that term is more correctly applied to shoots that arise from below ground, [ 1 ] from the roots, and a distance from the trunk.
This may involve dormant failure modes (e.g. No direct system effect, while a redundant system / item automatically takes over or when the failure only is problematic during specific mission or system states) or latent failures (e.g. deterioration failure mechanisms, like metal growing a crack, but not of critical length). It should be made ...
In the Bashyam Vasubandhu connects the Sautrantika theory of seeds with the notion of the latent defilements or anusaya: The Sautrantikas define anusayas as kleshas in the state of seeds and say that they are not separate dravyas (substances). Anusayas are dormant, i.e., not actualized, while paryavasthanas (active defilements) are awakened. [5]
Burrs on a tree trunk in Norfolk, England. A burl (American English) or burr (British English) is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. Burl formation is typically a result of some form ...
