AB In temperate and boreal regions, perennial trees arrest cell division in their meristematictissues during winter dormancy until environmental conditions become appropriate fortheir renewed growth. Release from the dormant state requires exposure to a periodof chilling temperatures similar to the vernalization required for flowering in Arabidopsis.Over the past decade, genomic DNA (gDNA) methylation and transcriptome studieshave revealed signatures of chromatin regulation during active growth and winterdormancy. To date, only a few chromatin modification genes, as candidate regulatorsof these developmental stages, have been functionally characterized in trees. In thiswork, we summarize the major findings of the chromatin-remodeling role during growthdormancycycles and we explore the transcriptional profiling of vegetative apical budand stem tissues during dormancy. Finally, we discuss genetic strategies designed toimprove the growth and quality of forest trees.
