Abstract The tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important vegetables grown globally. However, production tomatoes restricted by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol). This study aims to investigate ability Fol-resistant genotypes be a rootstock for susceptible cultivar. In this study, cultivar was grafted on rootstocks same species (intraspecific), and grafting compatibi...

A research was conducted at Pistachio Research Institute in Rafsanjan, Iran, to evaluate the effects of P. vera L. ‘Badami’, P. vera L. ‘Sarakhs’ and P. mutica F and M. ‘Beneh’ rootstocks on mineral content of leaves and kernels of ‘Owhadi’, ‘Kalleh-ghuchi’ and ‘Ahamd-aghaii’ pistachio scion cultivars. Twenty year old trees of these combinations were used during study over 2003 and 2004. Leaves...

In order to separate the effects of size and meristem maturation on age-related changes in shoot growth behaviour, a reciprocal grafting experiment was conducted involving juvenile (J), mid-age (MA) and old-growth (OG) red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) trees as both scion donors and rootstock. The effects of rootstock and scion age on vegetative growth, foliar morphology and reproductive developm...

doi: 10.1111/j.1399-3054.2006.00747.x Specific rootstocks can differentially influence the vegetative growth and development of fruit trees. However, the physiological mechanism involved in this phenomenon has been elusive. Recent research comparing different peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) rootstocks suggests that the rootstock effect on vegetative growth in peach trees is associated to water...

We investigated hydraulic conductance characteristics and associated dry matter production and distribution of peach trees grafted on different rootstocks growing in the field. A single scion genotype was grown on a low ('K146-43'), an intermediate ('Hiawatha') and a high ('Nemaguard') vigor rootstock. 'K146-43' and 'Hiawatha' rootstocks had 27 and 52% lower mean leaf-specific hydraulic conduct...

The interim results of many years work on the creation pear varieties - genetic dwarfs and dwarf rootstocks an intensive type with a high adaptive potential suitable for setting gardens in conditions Central region Russia are presented. At first stage obtained from crossing highly winter-resistant disease-resistant donors various origins monogenic determined dwarfism, group resistance to diseas...

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...
