Salinity is an important factor in reduced cucumber yield and quality. Grafting on the resistant rootstock could keep growth near to optimum condition. The aim of the present research is to investigate the characteristics of different rootstocks on physiology and fruit characteristics of cucumber. Treatments were rootstocks [Rn: Nongrafted (Cucumis sativus v. DAVOSII), Rt: Tanbal (Cucurbita max...

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...

Grafting is the most important means of breeding peach, plum, apricot, and other fruit trees, selection rootstock crucial to quality grafting yield products. The traditional commonly used peach susceptible root-knot nematode infections, resulting in a decreased yield, while variety cherry plum rootstocks, Mirabolano 29C, resistant nematode. In this study, infection experiments on seedlin...

O 100 species of plants exhibit systemic wound signaling that induces the production of defensive chemicals in leaves and stems (1). The signaling is caused by herbivore attacks and also occurs in response to some pathogens (2–5). The most intensively studied systemic signaling response is that found in species of the Solanaceae family, where a systemic wound signal that is graft transmissible ...

in this research, catalase activity and leaf chlorophyll stability of satsuma mandarin on some citrus rootstocks under waterlogging condition were studied. experiment was conducted as factorial with randomized complete blocks and 6 replications. the first factor, include 7 soils from east mazandaran and the second factor included 7 different citrus rootstocks: 1. sour orange, 2. swingle citrome...

Abstract Experiments were conducted in Ash-Shoubak area of Jordan from June 2003 to September 2005 to study the effect of three apple rootstocks on the development of the small red-belted clearwing borer, Synanthedon myopaeformis (Borkh.) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), under field conditions. Mondial Gala apple trees grafted on the dwarfing rootstock M9 and the semi-dwarfing rootstock M26 were equall...

The Michurinsk State Agrarian University (Michurinsk SAU) is one of the leading centers for breeding apple clonal rootstocks. A diverse collection rootstocks, founded in 1930s by V.I. Budagovsky, maintained at SAU. In present study, 87 rootstocks from this were analyzed using 18 SSR markers to assess their genetic diversity and relatedness. detected polymorphism level was rather high compared p...

Pistacia vera cv Badami-e-riz and P.vera cv Ghazvini are the most important and popular rootstocks in Iran, which tolerate salinity and phytophthora fungi. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various concentrations of polyamines and IBA on root regeneration of transplanted bare- rooted ‘Badami-e-riz’ and ‘Ghazvini’ pistachio rootstocks. The mean comparison between IBA and polyam...

Investigations have demonstrated that ratio of sugars to organic acids affects the particular taste of citrus fruit and carotenoids are essential for prevent of the disease.  It seems that some rootstocks enhance the ripening of fruits and stimulatethe biosynthesis of sugars and carotenoids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on sugars, organic acids andcarotenoids o...

The two commercially important apple rootstocks i.e., MM106 and B9 were micropropagated using a liquid culture system. Three different strengths of 0.8% agar solidified PGR free basal MS medium were first tested to optimize the culture media for both the rootstocks. Full strength medium (MS0) supported maximum in vitro growth, multiplication, rooting and survival under field conditions as oppos...
