There is increasing interest worldwide in how decision-making processes concerning controversial technological innovations can be improved by better integration of input from society at large. Aiming to gain knowledge on grapevine defence mechanisms against grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), a severe disease, scientists wanted to carry out a field trial of genetically modified grapevine rootstocks...

Previous research in our lab first established a determinative role for a genetically regulated process of programmed cell death (PCD), in the leaf scorch and cane death symptoms in Pierce’s disease (PD) and then developed a functional screen for PCD-suppressing plant genes from a cDNA library of grape genes. The functional screen identified six candidate DNA sequences potentially able to suppr...

The characteristic decline in height growth that occurs over a tree's lifespan is often called "age-related decline." But is the reduction in height growth in aging trees a function of age or of size? We grafted shoot tips across different ages and sizes of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) trees to determine whether the decline in height growth is mediated by tree size or by t...

In Puerto Rico, Huanglongbing (HLB), detected in 2009, continues to produce losses orchards across the island. Efforts clean propagation materials and select different combinations of scions rootstocks mitigate disease have been a priority. 2016, an experiment was established Isabela Coto clay series soils at 120 m assess ‘Mexican’ lime, ‘Fina’ clementine mandarin, ‘Campbell’ Valencia orange gr...

Some results regarding the influence of some Solanum rootstocks on eggplant crops from Romania are in this study. Eggplants popular vegetables all around world. Among grafting aims fruit yield and quality. Eggplant has been a tradition for over 15 years at Horting Institute Bucharest. Grafting combinations used have S. melongena scions (Aragon F1 Hazera, Israel Luiza variety Research–Developmen...
