In this episode of Seeds of Tomorrow – The Next Chapter, Dr. Anna Wunsch (CITA Aragón / EEAD-CSIC), Dr. Afif Hedhly (CITA Aragón / EEAD-CSIC) and Juan Antonio Vives Valles (University of the Balearic Islands, seconded to the CPVO) discuss the discovery of an “ever-growing” sweet cherry that does not enter winter dormancy.

The conversation explores the genetic and molecular mechanisms behind dormancy, chilling requirements in fruit trees, climate adaptation in Mediterranean production systems, and the implications for long-term breeding strategies.

A focused discussion on how fundamental research, climate pressures and plant variety protection intersect to shape the future of fruit innovation.
