this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of water stress on the growth and mineral concentrations in the leaves and roots of four pistachio seedling rootstocks including pistacia vera ‘badami-riz-zarand’, ‘ghazvini’, ‘sarakhs’ and p. mutica. irrigation treatments were 100% etc (control), 65% etc (medium stress) and 30% etc (severe stress) applying for 75 days on four months old pistachio...

Watermelon plants grafted onto rootstocks from squash or gourds were planted at Lane, Oklahoma. Weight, dimensions, and quality (SSC, firmness, lycopene content) of a seeded (Summer Flavor® 800) and a seedless (Summer Sweet® 5244) cultivar were measured. Watermelons from non-grafted plants weighed more than those from grafted plants. Fruit shape, determined by length, circumference, and their r...

Cut roses are grown throughout the four distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter in Korea. Especially very hot or cold summer winter, temperature light environments inside a greenhouse cause abiotic stress on growth horticultural crops. In where shade cultivation is performed high intensity low, whereas when not performed, both low. This experiment investigated year-round yield ch...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics fruits 58 sweet orange tops cultivars on four rootstocks, namely: ‘Sunki Tropical’ mandarin and ‘Trifoliata’ Citrandarin ‘San Diego’, ‘Riverside’ ‘Indio’. For purpose, a completely randomized experimental design used, in factorial scheme (58 x 4). analyzed were: equatorial diameter, fruit mass, peel thickn...

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 ...

Different species of Phytophthora cause serious and economically important soilborne diseases of citrus throughout the World. Tree and crop production losses occur from damping-off of seedlings in the seedbed, root and crown rot in nurseries, foot rot and fibrous root rot, and brown rot of fruit in groves. Foot rot results from infection of the bark near the ground level producing lesions on th...

RNA silencing describes the sequence specific degradation of RNA targets. Silencing is a non-cell autonomous event that is graft transmissible in different plant species. The present study is the first report on systemic acquired dsRNA-mediated gene silencing of transgenic and endogenous gene sequences in a woody plant like apple. Transgenic apple plants overexpressing a hairpin gene construct ...
