Background and Aims Grafting in viticulture has been essential since the advent of phylloxera crisis at end 19th century, but relatively little is known about relevance quality connection grafting junction on behaviour grafted grapevines. Methods Results An experimental procedure comparing omega vines with complete alignment scion rootstock (CA) partial (PA) was developed. Three complementary t...

Grafted tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants have the potential to increase yield in absence of soilborne disease; however, success is dependent on geographic location and rootstock–scion combination. Pruning axillary shoots field-grown a standard practice for fresh-market production southeastern United States, although few studies evaluated effects pruning grafted plants. In this study, we...

In recent years, Colomerus vitis has caused serious economic losses due to reduced grape production in Xinjiang (northwest China). Several rootstock varieties have been reported improve the resistance of Cabernet Sauvignon vitis. This study explored influence with different rootstocks on particular, Sauvignon/Cabernet (CS/CS) was selected as control, and grafted five resistant (3309C, 1103P, 14...

       In this study scion of Thompson seedless grape cultivar was grafted on three local cultivars (Chav-ga, Rash-meri and Tre-rash) rootstock by wedge grafting in 2021-2022, were made manually the 15th Febrywary using one-year old cuttings ( rootstock). Growth parameters such as shoot length diameter, dry weight vegetative growth, number leaves showed significant...

Salinity limits crop productivity, in part by decreasing shoot concentrations of the growth-promoting and senescence-delaying hormones cytokinins. Since constitutive cytokinin overproduction may have pleiotropic effects on plant development, two approaches assessed whether specific root-localized transgenic IPT (a key enzyme for cytokinin biosynthesis) gene expression could substantially improv...

The effects of different Cucurbita spp. rootstocks on melon cultivars belonging to different horticultural groups were studied by comparing grafted plants with non-grafted ones under greenhouse and open ®eld growing conditions. Winter melons (Cucumis melo L.) of the Inodorus group, cvs. `Thraki', `Peplo' and `Lefko Amynteou', and a summer melon of the Cantalupensis group, cv. `Kokkini Banana', ...
