A superimposed experiment was conducted at Gircha, Chencha district, Southern Ethiopia to determine the effect of four rootstocks on leaf nutrient concentration five apple cultivars. The laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data concentrations were collected and analyzed using SAS software. Results revealed that scion-rootstock interaction significantly...

Grafting can enhance the tolerance of vegetable crops to soilborne diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate whether different tomato scion-rootstock combinations may affect the plant susceptibility to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL), the causal agent of crown and root rot. A proteomic approach was used to investigate whenever the protein repertoire of the rootstoc...

A frost occurred in spring following high temperatures Michigan 2007. It caused important crop losses. In this study, the damage had on flower buds of some cherry cultivars ‘Gisela 5’ at Southwest Research and Extension Center (SWMREC) different scion/rootstock combinations Clarksville Horticultural Experiment Station (CHES) were determined. cherries, SWMREC varied from 26.7% to 99.3% depending...

The experiment was carried out during 2015-2016, with the aim of investigating the effects of scion cultivar, rootstock age and hormonal treatments on the success of walnut minigrafting. Analysis of results showed that all studied factors were effective on graft-take and survival of minigrafted walnuts and other growth traits of the scions. The highest graft-take was observed on one-year-old ro...

Greenhouse-grown l-year-old sweet orange trees [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv. Valencia] on cold-hardy trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] and cold-sensitive citron (C. medica L.) rootstocks were exposed to cold-acclimation conditions and freeze-tested at -6.7C for 4 hours in a temperature-programed walk-in freezer room. Nonhardened trees generally did not survive the freeze, whe...

The implementation of new planting systems in almond (Prunus amygdalus (L.) Batsch, syn P. dulcis (Mill.)) orchards for more sustainable practices has made tree architecture increasingly relevant as an important selection trait plant breeding. Multiple features define the three-dimensional structure tree, with shoot production being most important. Shoots can develop after a period rest (prolep...

Microplot experiments were conducted over two years (four growing seasons) to evaluate Meloidogyne incognita resistance in rootstocks used for grafted tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), muskmelon (Cucumis melo), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). Three tomato rootstocks; 'TX301', 'Multifort', and 'Aloha', were tested in addition to the nongrafted scion, 'Florida-47'. Two muskmelon rootstocks; Cucu...

To evaluate the role of root-synthesized ABA in regulating growth and stomatal behaviour under well-watered conditions, isogenic wild-type (WT) and ABA-deficient flacca (flc) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) were reciprocally and self-grafted just below the cotyledonary node. Since flc scions had lower leaf water potentials due to higher transpiration rates, a subset of all graft combinations was ...

‘Hafif Çukurgöbek’ loquat budded on three quince rootstock (BA-29, A, and C) were evaluated in 2018 2019 Hatay, Turkey. Fruit ripening was the earliest BA-29 both years. The highest fruit weight obtained from Quince-C followed by rootstock, Quince-A rootstock. yielded significantly higher values terms of seed number, weight, flesh/seed ratio. rootstocks had similar total soluble solids, while l...
