Rootstock-induced dwarfing of apple scions revolutionized global apple production during the twentieth century, leading to the development of modern intensive orchards. A high root bark percentage (the percentage of the whole root area constituted by root cortex) has previously been associated with rootstock-induced dwarfing in apple. In this study, the root bark percentage was measured in a fu...

Grapevine phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch) (Hemiptera: Phylloxeridae) is a worldwide pest of Vitis species. It has forms that feed on leaves and roots. Root forms predominate on Vitis vinifera (L.) cultivars, while leaf forms predominate on Vitis species from its native American range. Recently, high densities of D. vitifoliae infestations in leaves of V. vinifera in Brazil, Peru, ...

Grafting in brinjal is an alternative technology for chemical treatments to control soilborne pathogens with minimum impact on product quality and environment. The present study was carried out determine the graft compatibility of scions (Dhruva CO 2) five wild Solanum rootstocks their growth performance open field condition. cleft grafting method adopted this study. non-grafted plants were use...

Rootstocks of the genus Pyrus are easily adapted to climatic conditions and such trees more resistant Erwinia amylovora, but they also have disadvantages because these lush difficult grow in dense composition. The production pears a composition is tendency intensive pear production, quince rootstocks used for this purpose, it easier control height stem.
 increase density orchards directly ...

salinity is one of the most important limiting factors for crops, because of most agronomic and horticultural crops are sensitive to salinity. on the other hands, considerable lands of the world were affected by salinity and they are increasing day by day. an experiment was conducted with five levels of irrigation water salinity in soilless culture and greenhouse condition to evaluate the effec...

in this study, a landrace melon zarde jalali as the scion and commercial varieties of cucurbita rootstocks cv., shintozwa and ferro-rz was used as the rootstock. grafted plants upon commercial varieties of cucurbita with own-rooted and ungrafted at three irrigation levels of 60, 80 and 100% (respectively 4984.32, 6124.82 and 7239.41 m3ha-1) based on total available water depletion with drip irr...

BACKGROUND High-throughput amplicon sequencing spanning conserved portions of microbial genomes (16s rRNA and ITS) was used in the present study to describe the endophytic microbiota associated with three apple varieties, "Royal Gala," "Golden Delicious," and "Honey Crisp," and two rootstocks, M.9 and M.M.111. The objectives were to (1) determine if the microbiota differs in different rootstock...

The driving force behind the development of rootstocks for nut crops has been the solution of specific problems, often related to the presence of pests or the need for adaptation to particular sites. The use of interspecific hybrids as rootstocks has lead to increased appreciation for the contribution genetic diversity can make to orchard profitability in the face of site specific challenges. T...

The xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) causes Pierce's disease (PD), an important disease of grapevine, Vitis vinifera L. Grapevine rootstocks were developed to provide increased resistance to root disease, but rootstock effects on cane and vine diseases remain unclear. Grapevines that consisted of Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay grafted to 13 different rootstocks were inoculated ...

In Citrus, water, nutrient transport and thereby fruit production, are influenced among other factors, by the interaction between rootstock and boron (B) nutrition. This study aimed to investigate how B affects the anatomical structure of roots and leaves as well as leaf gas exchange in sweet orange trees grafted on two contrasting rootstocks in response to B supply. Plants grafted on Swingle c...
