Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (Fam. Leguminosae; Gen.: Gleditsia) has various uses, including for medicinal, edible, chemical, and material purposes, is widely distributed in China. However, the extent of graft compatibility its impact on growth when using different species as rootstocks grafting G. scions not yet clear. This study examined homologous heterologous between species, measuring survival ...

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...

The pathogenic effects of Pratylenchus coffeae on growth and yield of tangelo (Citrus paradisi x C. reticulata) scions grafted on rough lemon (C jambhiri), sour orange (C. aurantium) and 'Cleopatra' mandarin (C. reticulata) rootstocks were evaluated under field conditions for 4 years. Pratylenchus coffeae on inoculated trees increased to significantly damaging population densities on rough lemo...

Reciprocal cleft and pistillate floral bud grafts were made between parthenocarpic ;Fertilla' and nonparthenocarpic ;MSU 713-5' cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) lines to localize the site for stimulation of parthenocarpic fruit set. No fruit set on ;MSU 713-5' controls, scion grafted to ;Fertilla,' or rootstock with ;Fertilla' as the scion. ;Fertilla' controls, rootstock, and scions all produced p...

Despite many studies of the percent loss of hydraulic conductivity in excised branches, there is doubt as to whether cutting stems in air introduces unnatural embolism into the xylem at the cut surface. To address this question, hydraulic conductivity was measured in seedlings of northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) and rooted scions of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh.) tha...
