‘Hafif Çukurgöbek’ loquat budded on three quince rootstock (BA-29, A, and C) were evaluated in 2018 2019 Hatay, Turkey. Fruit ripening was the earliest BA-29 both years. The highest fruit weight obtained from Quince-C followed by rootstock, Quince-A rootstock. yielded significantly higher values terms of seed number, weight, flesh/seed ratio. rootstocks had similar total soluble solids, while l...

We investigated the hydraulic architecture of young olive trees either self-rooted or grafted on rootstocks with contrasting size-controlling potential. Clones of Olea europea L. (Olive) cv 'Leccino' inducing vigorous scion growth (Leccino 'Minerva', LM) or scion dwarfing (Leccino 'Dwarf', LD) were studied in different scion/rootstock combinations (LD, LM, LD/LD, LM/LM, LD/LM and LM/LD). Shoots...

Suitable rootstock enhances apple tree resilience. In 2021, we studied “Buckeye Gala” ( Malus domestica var. Buckeye Gala") on nine rootstocks with contrasting vigor in NS and BC, Canada. Rootstock effects vigor, yield, midday stem water potential were significant BC. After sustained heat events, the large-dwarfing Geneva 935, 4814, 969 had lower ratio of sunburn fruits, resulting higher projec...

BACKGROUND High-throughput amplicon sequencing spanning conserved portions of microbial genomes (16s rRNA and ITS) was used in the present study to describe the endophytic microbiota associated with three apple varieties, "Royal Gala," "Golden Delicious," and "Honey Crisp," and two rootstocks, M.9 and M.M.111. The objectives were to (1) determine if the microbiota differs in different rootstock...

Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a traditional fruit tree of 15–30 m tall in Oceania. The species staple crop for food security the tropics. Tree loss from tropical windstorms, together with transition toward high-density planting has driven an interest dwarf phenotype species. Information on dwarfing rootstocks breadfruit currently limited. aim this study was to assess performance growth lak...
