This experimental study was conducted at the Fruit Research Institute, Cacak, Serbia, to determine bud break and callus formation dates, the degree of callus formation, grafting success on day 20 after grafting and overall grafting success on day 28 after grafting in walnut (Juglans regia L.) under different treatments and bench grafting conditions in cultivar Seinovo (control) and the selectio...

Grafting is a well-established practice to facilitate asexual propagation in horticultural and agricultural crops. It has become a method for studying molecular aspects of root-to-shoot and/or shoot-to-root signaling events. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in gene expression between the organs of the scion and rootstock of a homograft (Arabidopsis thaliana). MapMan an...

Cotton leaf curl is devastating disease of cotton characterized by leaf curling, vein darkening and enations. The disease symptoms are induced by DNA satellite known as Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB), dominant betasatellite in cotton but another betasatellite known as Chili leaf curl betasatellite (ChLCB) is also found associated with the disease. Grafting experiment was perfor...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The primary physiological mechanism influencing tree vigour in size-controlling rootstocks of peach has been related to the hydraulic conductance of the rootstock. Differences in rootstock hydraulic conductance are a function of rootstock xylem vessel characteristics. The present research examined whether the vigour and xylem vessel characteristics of the rootstock influence...

Grafting is an easier and faster approach than plant breeding to take advantage of both existing resistant plants, especially wild cultivars, and high-bred cultivars. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in leaf photosynthetic capacity of a hybrid eggplant Solanum melongena L., cv. Rima (R), widely used in Greece] when grafted on tomato rootstocks known for their resistance to n...

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 ...

Plants can attenuate the replication of plant viruses and viroids by RNA silencing induced by virus and viroid infection. In higher plants, silencing signals such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) produced by RNA silencing can be transported systemically through phloem, so it is anticipated that antiviral siRNA signals produced in a stock would have the potential to attenuate propagation of vi...

The development of water stress resistant lines of commercial tomato by breeding or genetic engineering is possible, but will take considerable time before commercial varieties are available for production. However, grafting commercial tomato lines on drought resistant rootstock may produce drought tolerant commercial tomato lines much more rapidly. Due to changing climates and the need for com...

Apple scions with diverse growth habits were grafted on various size-controlling rootstocks and morphological characteristics were measured after 6 years of growth in the field. Scion had more influence than rootstock on monthly growth rate. Across all rootstocks, scions with spreading growth habits grew rapidly in April and May and achieved most seasonal growth earlier than scions with upright...

ABSTRACT Considering the cashew tree’s relevance and limitations imposed by salinity stress in semi-arid regions, use of alternatives capable mitigating harmful effects due to is great importance production sector. The grafted plants, especially with rootstock made tolerant materials, influences accumulation toxic ions leaves seedlings. Thus, objective this work was evaluate morphophysiological...
