the gf677 (prunus amygdalus×prunus persica) is a peach rootstock tolerant to fe deficiency .therefore, mass propagation of gf677 rootstock is recommended by bioreactor. on the other hand, plant micro-propagation using bioreactors can decrease the cost of production and makes it an economical method. in this research, the possibility of using bioreactor and optimization of the tissue culture pro...

Due to climate changes, drought- and lime-tolerant Prunus mahaleb rootstock may gain importance. Among the Mahaleb rootstocks hybrids, there are standard moderate-vigorous types, but their intensive testing in orchards is still needed. Our paper reports on SL 64, Bogdány, Magyar, SM 11/4 clonal Mahalebs, hybrid MaxMa 14. ‘Carmen’, ‘Vera’, ‘Paulus’, ‘Rita’ sweet cherry trees were trained above p...

The Southeastern United States is facing agriculture crises, such as the ongoing epidemic of citrus greening disease that has forced region to begin looking into alternative crops. Some these belong Rosaceae genus Prunus, which encompasses many economically important species peaches, almonds, cherries, plums, and more. Peach production in Florida become a very promising citrus; however, there a...

One factor that contributes to a successful fruit tree grafting is the establishment of symplasmic contacts in the graft interface to facilitate the transfer of compounds between scion and stock. Using novel experimental and theoretical approaches we investigated whether the localized incompatibility, experienced in some Prunus grafts, could be related to insufficient plasmodesmal coupling at a...

The peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) is the third most important fruit crop grown commercially after apple and pear in the temperate zones of world with total production of 20.0 million MT (USDA, 2016). In India, peach cultivation is confined to the warm temperate and sub-tropical parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttrakhand, parts of Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. I...

Sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.), having a rich composition of biologically active connections and antioxidants, is gaining increasing popularity among agricultural producers. Increasing the production sour fruits requires introduction modern technology, one elements which low-growing rootstocks. For many cultures, use rootstocks has been widely studied, but there very little information on thei...

Introduction New rootstocks for peaches have been recently introduced into the United States through commercial nurseries. Most all of these rootstocks are complex Prunus L. hybrids that are propagated asexually. Past experience with newly introduced Prunus rootstocks has shown that extensive testing is critical to avoid potential problems in commercial situations due to nonadaptation of some r...
