Description
Ozkan Kaya models frost tolerance in fruit buds by pairing heat tests with a new damage model, in a solo study from two thousand twenty-six. Nine fruit species were tested at pink bud and full bloom stages. A heat signal marked the point where bud cells die.
Bud death times ranged from about five minutes in sour cherry to near twenty-six in pear. A curved envelope model blends lethal temperature with exposure time to grade each species. Quince showed the widest tolerance envelope by far. Pear leaned on duration tolerance, while sour cherry leaned on cold tolerance. Kaya offers the model for breeding hardier fruit types.
