Mediterranean basin and other citrus-growing areas, such as Florida or California, are among the most vulnerable regions to impacts of global warming. Therefore, citrus will be likely subjected increasing periods water scarcity combined with high temperatures that impair plant growth, development yield. In industry, grafting is used improve varietal characteristics, abiotic stress tolerance. Pr...

The experiment was carried out during 2015-2016, with the aim of investigating the effects of scion cultivar, rootstock age and hormonal treatments on the success of walnut minigrafting. Analysis of results showed that all studied factors were effective on graft-take and survival of minigrafted walnuts and other growth traits of the scions. The highest graft-take was observed on one-year-old ro...

Rootstocks are well known to have important effects on scion growth performance. However, the involved mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies provided some clues potential involvement of DNA methylation in grafting, which open up new horizons for exploring how rootstocks induce changes. To better understand rootstock-induced alterations, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) was used eval...

The research has been done for assessment of effects of different concentrations of Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) on rhizogenesis of scions of C. Phlomidis in 2010.  The research has been done on Randomized Complete-blocks for five replications and three treatments with zero, 2000ppm and 3000pmm concentration. Different characters such as number of root of each scion, length of root, length of ne...

       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...
