Removing the terminal buds during the winter would allow the lateral buds to grow unchecked in the spring, because no growth regulators would be present.
32.
The terminal bud is produced at the farthest point away from the stolon attachment and tubers thus show the same apical dominance as a normal stem.
33.
They feed in the growing tips of young shoots of their host plant, destroying the terminal bud, but barely boring into the tip of the stem.
34.
Branching tends to occur when the growth of the terminal bud is stopped, due to either flowering or traumatic events ( e . g . herbivory ).
35.
The buds form early and are full grown by midsummer, all are lateral, no terminal bud is formed; the branch is prolonged by the upper lateral bud.
36.
Axillary bud do not become actively growing shoots on plants with strong apical dominance ( the tendency to grow just the terminal bud on the main stem ).
37.
When you think these side branches have grown high enough ( 2-3 meters ? ), you can then pinch or cut off the terminal buds of these branches.
38.
The age and rate of growth of a twig can be determined by counting the winter terminal bud scale scars, or annular ring marking, down the length of the twig.
39.
A disruption to the system by overexpressing miR-127 in a fetal lung organ culture system resulted in defective development shown by a decrease in terminal bud counts and varied bud sizes.

Q . I'm told that the best time to shear spruce and fir to improve their growth habit is very late spring or early summer, when they begin to grow from the terminal buds.
