About
Dr. S.A. Bound is a leading horticultural scientist whose research focuses on the physiology of perennial fruit crops, particularly the manipulation of dormancy, bud break, and flowering to optimize crop development. Her major contributions center on understanding and controlling the timing of key phenological stages in sweet cherry and other fruit trees, using innovative dormancy-breaking agents like Waiken® to advance harvest windows and improve yield reliability. This work has practical implications for managing climate variability and extending production seasons. While her most-cited paper on this topic has garnered 3 citations, her broader impact is reflected in her sustained contributions to international horticultural science, including presentations at the prestigious IHC2014 symposium. Dr. Bound’s research bridges fundamental plant physiology and applied orchard management, offering growers tools to enhance productivity and fruit quality. Her expertise in manipulating crop development cycles positions her as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in sustainable intensification of perennial fruit production systems.
