The objective of this study was to evaluate the stenting (grafted cutting) propagation of commercial pomegranate cultivars as scions on drought tolerant genotypes as rootstocks. The effect of drought stress on nine pomegranate rootstocks was analyzed. Cultivars including ‘Daneshgah 13’, ‘Daneshgah 32’ and ‘Daneshgah 8’ that were used as rootstocks showed the maximum drought tolerance among the ...

A citrus spacing experiment begun in 1980 included 4 spacings, 2 varieties, and 2 rootstocks. Planting densities ranged from 150 to 360 trees per acre with spacings from 8 x 15 ft to 15 x 20 ft. 'Hamlin' and 'Valencia' Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.) trees were planted on Milam lemon ( C. jambhiri Lush) and Rusk citrange ( Poncirus trifoliata (l.) Raf. x C. sinensis) rootstocks. Trees ...

boron (b) toxicity is an important disorder that can limit plant growth in arid and semi-arid environments. it has been proven that use of tolerant rootstocks impede b uptake or transport to the aerial portions of plants. this may alleviate b toxicity in the scion, consequently improves the tolerance to excess b in the root zone. an experiment was conducted to find the effects of b toxicity on ...

Phenolic compounds of the skin and seeds are the principal sources of wine color and structural properties. Under semi-arid conditions, irrigation management is the most determining factor of grape and wine quality while rootstocks affect numerous physiological and vegetative parameters of the scion. In the present study, compositional changes of skin and seed phenolic compounds were studied in...
