Citrus rootstocks are a relevant tree part that contributes to crops adapting biotic and abiotic conditions, it becoming key factor face the current era of climate change. Although emphasis most studies on has been placed yield optimization citrus fruit grown in different environments, other have paid attention effect rootstock quality. Hence, quality is increasingly more as consumers demand hi...

This is a study on the influence that two rootstocks (110R, high vigour; 420A, low vigour) and three vineyard floor management regimes (tilled resident vegetation - usual practise in California, and barley cover crops that were either mowed or tilled) had upon grape nitrogen-containing compounds (mainly ammonia and free amino acids recalculated as YAN), sugars, and organic acids in 'Cabernet Sa...

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...

Leaf photosynthesis is pivotal for the synthesis of carbohydrates; however, growth and development horticultural crops are more closely related to canopy photosynthetic capacity. Measurements allow a better evaluation fruit tree performance at scale. Therefore, an open chamber system determine instantaneous apparent (CAPi) was investigated. CAPi slightly overestimated biomass accumulation by 5....

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...

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...

Combining longitudinal data and statistical models from perennial crops enabled us to estimate the optimum number of measures (harvests), implying accurate discrimination superior genotypes in those crops. Herein, goal this study was determine harvests based on yield traits recommend a graft/rootstock combination (GRC) for Citrus latifolia Tanaka. Twenty-four GRCs 'Tahiti' acid lime were evalua...

Bemisia tabaci is one of the most devastating pests in tomato greenhouse production. Insecticide resistance management for B. tabaci requires a novel approach that maximizes non-chemical methods for pest control. The aim of this study was to test the effects of rootstocks on B. tabaci populations in hydroponically grown tomato plants. In order to contribute to the better understanding of the me...
