Deciphering mango tree asynchronisms using Markov tree and probabilistic graphical models

Year: 2013
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Tree development is often characterised by complex dependencies between daughter growthunits (GUs) deriving from a given mother GU, the so-called sister GUs. These dependencies directly affectthe reproductive and vegetative phenological patterns that are at the origin of asynchronisms betweenadjacent GUs, eventually leading to within-canopy patchiness. These phenomena are rather common ontropical fruit-trees. We introduce new parsimonious statistical models to identify such dependencies. Theproposed approach is illustrated on mango tree, a tropical species with a particularly complex timing ofdevelopment. We focus especially on differences on fates and dates of burst between the daughter GUsissued from a same mother GU.
