Vegetable Grafting as a Tool to Improve Drought Resistance and Water Use Efficiency
Drought is one of the most prevalent limiting factors causing considerable losses in crop productivity, inflicting economic as well as nutritional insecurity. One of the greatest challenges faced by the scientific community in the next few years is to minimize the yield losses caused by drought. Drought resistance is a complex quantitative trait controlled by many genes. Thus, introgression of ...
متن کاملVegetable Grafting – A Tool to Improve Vegetable Productivity
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com vegetables and flowers. Practicing of grafting in vegetable crops is an exclusive tool in East Asia to manage various vulnerable issues to the intensive vegetable production. In this regard, the first scientific report of vegetable grafting was published during late 1920 in Japan Journal of Horticulture [1]. This study was designed to control soil b...
متن کاملGrafting to improve nitrogen-use efficiency traits in tobacco plants
Nitrate plays a major role in the yield and quality of tobacco plants. This work explored the nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) and how it can be affected by grafting. Two experiments were designed: in the first, using six commercial tobacco cultivars, the best cultivar for the NUE was selected and analysed for foliar NO3− content, total N, nicotine and nitrate reductase (NR) activity. The results ...
متن کاملSimulation Of Water Use Efficiency To Tackle The Drought
Rainfed environments are characterised by unpredictable and highly variable seasonal rainfall and hence highly variable yields. Water use efficiency (WUE, yield per unit of water use) is commonly used for agricultural production with limited water resources. Expertise working towards the water resources need to address the multitudinous aspects in which cropping systems and amounts, timing and ...
متن کاملA Simple Method to Improve Hazelnut Grafting
Hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. However, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. Grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. Unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. Here, we report the hypo...
