Trials were established at Aula Dei Experimental Station (EEAD-CSIC, Zaragoza, Spain) to assess graft compatibility between peach cultivars [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] and new Prunus spp. rootstocks or selections. Peach cvs. Catherina and Tebana and nectarine cvs. Big Top and Summergrand were grafted on peach seedlings, plum rootstocks, almond x peach hybrids, and other interspecific rootstock...

apple is the most important fruits in the world and development of vegetative rootstocks is the priority of our country. to obtain apple rootstocks compatible with soil conditions in iran, many crosses were carried out among native-dwarf genotype (azayesh and morabaee) as female parents and commercial rootstocks (b9, m9, m27) as male parents from 2005 to 2007. primary evaluation of progenies wa...

French research on rootstocks is based two strategies: the creation of new and evaluation existing (GreffAdapt facility). The search for traits associated with drought tolerance has not yet been brought to a successful conclusion, but work continuing emphasis field experiments, measurement δ13C, consideration yield, study trait plasticity as function scion water status.

using apple clonal rootstocks is necessary for improving crop efficiency in apple orchards. after graftingof apple cultivars on malling rootstocks, the extra parts of the rootstock was used as stem cuttings. apical,middle and basal parts of these shoots were used as cuttings. two propagation conditions, greenhouse andnursery and three concentrations of indole-3- butyric acid (iba) on rooting, c...

(1) Background: Silicon (Si) and nitric oxide (NO) have been proven to protect against cellular injury caused by stress conditions, mostly salinity water in agriculture. (2) Methods: The goal was study the effect of soil applications NO, Si, their combination (Si+NO) on response Myrobalan 29C rootstocks (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) subjected well-watered conditions. (3) Results: results showed tha...

The response of Citrus spp. and related rootstocks to a population of Meloidogyne javanica was evaluated in a screenhouse experiment. Palestine and Rangpur lime, rough lemon, sour orange, Sexton and Thentriton tangelo, and Volkamer lemon were not infected by M. javanica. Galls and tip swellings were observed on the roots of Poncirus triloliata and Troyer citrange. There was no evidence of nemat...

We now have two consecutive years of yield data following soil fumigation that provided differing volumes of sterilized soil. Tarped methyl bromide at 400 lb/ac provided soil sterilization throughout the surface six feet of soil. Telone II applied in 11 foot wide strips at 50 gallons per acre provided sterilized soil to 4.5 feet deep across half the field surface area. Nine years later the yiel...

Studies have shown that phenolic compounds are important in human health.The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of rootstocks on phenolic compounds. The content of individual phenolic compounds in fruits was determined by HPLC. Total flavonoids content was measured using colorimetric method. Free radical scavenging activity on stable DPPH radicals was also evaluated. HPLC ana...
