Background and Aims Rootstock type can lead to differences in scion canopy growth fruit yield by conferring specific traits the scion. Conferred may interact alter relationship between vine water use yield, providing a mechanism whereby rootstocks could be used improve efficiency of production. This study aimed determine whether rootstock conferred vigour crop index (yield per unit transpired) ...

To explore the quality rootstock which impart better stionic establishment of mango seedlings, we studied comparative effect scion and using three varieties (Sindhri, Chaunsa Neelum) grafted on rootstocks i.e. Ratam, Pado Sindhri. Parameters including seed germination (%), seedling height (cm), leaves rootstock-1, vigor index (SVI), fresh biomass shoot roots (g), dry chlorophyll content (rg), d...

Intraspecific grafting with selected scions and rootstocks was used to study drought tolerance in the recalcitrant Mediterranean conifer P. pinaster. Conifers store different terpene types needles, stems roots, which can be modified by drought, but most studies have focused on a single organ over terpenes limits understanding of overall plant response. In this work, profile (160 components amon...

Ink disease caused by the root-rot pathogen P. cinnamomi (Pc) threatens European sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) orchards, and growers increasingly graft susceptible C. traditional varieties on Pc-resistant hybrid commercial rootstocks. The influence of scion, rootstock, grafting per se vegetative budburst, growth, susceptibility to Pc defence-related hormone profile Castanea spp. are un...

The labor-efficient automation of grafting has been recognized as a key factor in the wider adoption grafting. In growing cucurbits, root pruned one-cotyledon method is most commonly used with machines. cutting angle, which affects matching rootstock and scion, to survival graft seedling. production cucurbit seedlings, parameters are established based on experience, leading low success. To dete...

In vitro micropropagation is already a current multiplication tool for walnut self-rooted cultivars and rootstocks, but grafting still performed in the field or greenhouses, mainly using seedlings as rootstocks. The present work describes new approach to obtain clonal walnut-grafted plants, involving shoot production of ‘Paradox’ (Juglans hindsi × Juglans regia) cl. ’Vlach’, be used rootstock, ...

Huanglongbing (HLB), which is believed to be caused by the phloem-restricted bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), has decimated Florida’s citrus production. Grapefruit production declined 75%, mandarin 78%, and sweet orange 52% due high sensitivity of commercial scions rootstocks disease. New combinations hybrid may provide better performance than current selections for fresh pro...
