Study of Apple Cultivars on Dwarfing Rootstocks in North Mississippi

Comparison of Chloroplast DNA Diversity in Some Iranian Apple Genotypes, Commercial Cultivars and Rootstocks

The chloroplastic DNA of 64 accessions of apple (Malus spp.) (54 Iranian genotypes, five commercial cultivars and five rootstocks) were analyzed to reveal their haplotypes by using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Approximately 4320 bp of the chloroplast genome was analyzed, by using two chloroplast universal primer pairs and two restriction ...

comparison of the dwarfing effects of two hawthorn and quince rootstocks on several commercial pear cultivars

a principal obstacle facing intensive pear orchard establishment in iran is the absence of appropriate dwarfing or semi-dwarfing rootstocks, compatible with commercial cultivars, as well as showing adaptability with alkaline soils. this research aimed at an evaluation of the hawthorn seedlings (crataegus sp.) as a potential dwarfing rootstock for pear and a comparison of its dwarfing effects wi...

Effect of Peach Cultivars, Rootstocks and Phytophthora on Iron Chlorosis

The cultivar and rootstock effect on iron chlorosis were studied. The results revealed significant differences among peach cultivars and rootstocks in mineral content. Seasonal changes were also found in the macroand micronutrient content of leaves of peach cultivars and rootstocks. The rootstock St. Julien 655/2 was found to be efficient in K, P, Zn, Fe, Cu absorption and better than seedling ...

Rootstocks for Size Control in Apple Trees

Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Growth and Nutrient Uptake of Apple Rootstocks in Calcareous Soil

The effects of three Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) species (Glomus versiforme, Claroideoglomus etunicatum and Rhizophagus intraradices) were studied on the growth parameters and nutrient uptake of three apple rootstocks (M.9, M.7 and MM.106). The soil medium contained a high level of calcium carbonate (38.65%). The results showed that AMF inoculation could increase almost all growth parame...
