Insect Grafting

Insect epidermis: polarity patterns after grafting result from divergent cell adhesions between host and graft tissue.

Insect epidermal cells display planar polarity (i.e. polarity in the plane of the cell sheet) by secreting oriented cuticular denticles and bristles before each moult. We investigate how cell polarities in an abdominal segment are uniformly oriented towards the posterior of the animal. Recently we have shown for the cotton bug Dysdercus that, in 180 degrees-rotated grafts pretreated with colchi...

Optimizing Early Grafting of Persian Walnut by Evaluating Different Rootstocks, Covering Materials and Grafting Methods

Grafting on epicotyl of young seedlings has been introduced as a simple and rapid method for walnut propagation. Although this technique improves the grafting success and propagation efficiency, it is technically more demanding than the conventional walnut grafting procedures and is yet to be optimized. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of rootstock type (dwarf and standard geno...

Comparing Iterated Grafting and Grafting Rays

LetX be a closed oriented hyperbolic surface and γ a simple closed geodesic, which is short on X. We show that the iterated grafting grtγgrsγX is close to the grafting ray gr(s+T )γX in the Teichmüller metric, where the bounds depend on the length of γ only. Using this result, we show that the holonomy lifts gr2πγgrtγX of a grafting ray all lie in a r-tube around the ray grtγX and the rays grtγ...
