Drought stress severely affects growth, development and productivity in most agricultural crops. Since ancient times, rootstocks have been used to enable crop cultivation unsuitable soil conditions. In the present study, three factors were evaluated: 1) cultivar: Vitis vinifera L. cv. ‘Horozkarası’ (drought-tolerant) ‘Kabarcık’ (drought-sensitive) used; 2) rootstock: each cultivar was self-root...

The effect of grafting and post-grafting temperature on the plant development of two watermelon cultivars at transplantation and on subsequent fruit quality was studied. Watermelon cv. Sugar Baby and Crimson Sweet were self-rooted or grafted onto rootstock RS 841 F1 (Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata) or bottlegourd [Lagenaria siceraria f. clavata] (year 1), plus L. siceraria f. pyrotheca (ye...

‘Hafif Çukurgöbek’ loquat budded on three quince rootstock (BA-29, A, and C) were evaluated in 2018 2019 Hatay, Turkey. Fruit ripening was the earliest BA-29 both years. The highest fruit weight obtained from Quince-C followed by rootstock, Quince-A rootstock. yielded significantly higher values terms of seed number, weight, flesh/seed ratio. rootstocks had similar total soluble solids, while l...

abstract one way of the increasing saline tolerance in citrus plants is grafting of sensitive commercial cultivars on to tolerant rootstocks. sweet lime (citrus limetta) is one of the most sensitive species to salinity of soil and water, and under such conditions, drastic reduction of both vegetative and yield occured. this reaserch was conducted in completely randomaized design with factorial ...

hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. however, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. here, we report the hypo...
