چکیده

In sweet orange ‘Pêra-Rio’ and acid lime ‘Tahiti’ citrus plants (Citrus spp.) stalked on “Cleopatra” mandarin, a necrosis in the grafting point was observed, causing plant death and dry fruits. Aiming to identify the causes of changes in the rootstock, which lead to grafting incompatibility, an anatomical study comparing plants with and without symptoms, stalked on Rangpur lime, was performed. In addition, the plant nutritional conditions and soil fertility of orchards were evaluated. Necrotic processes caused by vascular discontinuity between the crown and the rootstock were the main causes of loss in productivity and fruit quality. The incompatibility between the rootstock with the crown of ‘Pêra-Rio’ orange or ‘Tahiti’ lime causes plant nutritional imbalance that is not related to low natural fertility of the soil in the region. The results indicated problems in the use of ‘Cleopatra’ mandarin rootstock with the soil and climatic conditions of the Central Amazon region. RESUMO: Em plantas de laranjeira ‘Pêra-Rio’ e de lima ácida ‘Tahiti’ (Citrus spp.) enxertadas sobre tangerineira ‘Cleópatra’, observaram-se uma necrose do ponto de enxertia, a morte das plantas e os frutos secos. Com o objetivo de detectar as causas das alterações no porta-enxerto que levaram à incompatibilidade de enxertia, realizou-se um estudo anatômico comparativo entre plantas com sintomas e plantas sem sintomas enxertadas sobre limão ‘Cravo’, avaliando-se também o estado nutricional e a fertilidade do solo dos pomares. Processos necróticos ocasionados por descontinuidade vascular entre a copa e o porta-enxerto foram os principais fatores que levaram a perdas da produtividade e da qualidade dos frutos. A incompatibilidade entre o porta-enxerto e a copa de laranjeira ‘Pêra-Rio’ ou a lima ácida ‘Tahiti’ acarreta distúrbio nutricional que não tem relação com a baixa fertilidade do solo da região. Os resultados indicaram problemas no uso de tangerineira ‘Cleópatra’ como porta-enxerto nas condições edafoclimáticas da Amazônia Central.

Systemic resistance in citrus to Tetranychus urticae induced by conspecifics is transmitted by grafting and mediated by mobile amino acids

Recent research suggests that systemic signalling and communication between roots and leaves plays an important role in plant defence against herbivores. In the present study, we show that the oviposition of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae in the systemic leaves of citrus rootstock Citrus aurantium (sour orange) was reduced by 50% when a lower leaf was previously infested with c...

Response of Young Citrus Trees on Selected Rootstocks to Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Fertilization

The majority of the citriculture in Brazil is located in the state of São Paulo, with a total production area of 700,000 ha. Trees are grafted mostly on ‘Rangpur’ lime (RL; Citrus limonia Osbeck) rootstock. Despite its good horticultural performance, use of other rootstocks has increased with the search for disease-tolerant varieties to improve grove productivity and longevity. Furthermore, the...

Chloride absorption in salt-sensitive Carrizo citrange and salt-tolerant Cleopatra mandarin citrus rootstocks is linked to water use.

In this work, seedlings of two citrus rootstocks, the salt-tolerant Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan.) and the salt-sensitive Carrizo citrange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osb. x Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf.) were used to study the relationship between chloride and water uptake. The results indicated that net chloride uptake rates in both genotypes were alike and decreased linearly with...
