In the Republic of Korea, root pruning splice-grafting method is commonly used on watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seedlings to produce grafted plants. The growing medium an important factor for rooting a transplant. this study, we investigated shoot growth development in different media. ‘Shindong’ as scions were onto ‘Shingiwon’ bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) ...

Abstract An effort to solve sex-determining problems in nutmeg cultivation is using shoot grafted seeds of known sex parental tree through epicotyl grafting. However, constraint grafting has a relatively high mortality rate due suboptimal microclimates. Therefore, the study aimed increase grafted-nutmeg seeds’ viability and plant vigor field micro-clipping microclimate optimization. The experim...

Citrus orchards in northeastern Brazil are mostly rainfed and comprised basically of ‘Pera CNPMF D-6’ sweet orange budded on ‘Rangpur’ lime, for the drought tolerance productivity imparted by this rootstock. Therefore, selection new varieties is needed to broaden genetic basis citrus cultivated region. Accordingly, study compared vegetative, productive, fruit quality traits eight scions grafted...

In the study, two commercial Cucurbita maxima×Cucurbita moschata hybrid (Nun9075 and TZ148), Lagenaria spp. (Argentario) one local genotype (3335) Citrullus amarus (PI 296341) were used as rootstocks. The male female parents of watermelon hybrids (187×125 11×162) scions. Ungrafted plants formed control group also each parent was grafted on itself. Male for pollen measurements. Fruit weight, fru...

Effect of rootstock on yield and quality cucumber scion was studied at Department Vegetable Science, College Agriculture, Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala during February-May, 2021. Parthenocarpic non-parthenocarpic scions were grafted onto five different cultivated cucurbit species i.e. pumpkin, bottle gourd, oriental pickling melon, culinary melon ash gourd. Significant variations observ...

Although grafting is broadly used in the production of crops, no information is available about the proteins involved in vascular connections between rootstock and scion. Similarly, proteome changes under the light intensities widely used for grafted seedlings are of practical use. The objective of this study was to determine the proteome of vascular connections using watermelon (Citrullus vulg...
