Aim of study: In most areas vineyards worldwide, cultivars are frequently grafted on specific rootstocks to avoid Daktulosphaira vitifoliae pest attack. Nevertheless, the absence this in Canary Islands allowed chance conserve and cultivate traditional or new own-rooted genotypes without requirement rootstocks. To investigate responses Vitis vinifera L. salt stress conditions, ‘Castellana Negra’...

Salinity, which is predominantly an issue for agricultural systems in arid and semi-arid regions, has the potential to impair grape production wine quality, its impact on industries predicted increase with climate change. Research physiological molecular changes that occur salt-affected vines unveiled complex osmotic ionic responses include oxidative stress, water loss, photoinhibition, growth ...

Agricultural bioinoculants containing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi represent a potential opportunity to reduce the dependence of grapevines ( Vitis ) on agrochemicals. This field study assessed ability four commercial colonize grapevine roots and their effects petiole nutrient concentration, berry composition, root morphology ‘Pinot noir’ vinifera grafted onto rootstock ‘Couderc 3309’ riparia ×...

The cultivar and rootstock effect on iron chlorosis were studied. The results revealed significant differences among peach cultivars and rootstocks in mineral content. Seasonal changes were also found in the macroand micronutrient content of leaves of peach cultivars and rootstocks. The rootstock St. Julien 655/2 was found to be efficient in K, P, Zn, Fe, Cu absorption and better than seedling ...

Abstract Somatic embryogenesis is the most common regeneration method for application of new genomic techniques like cisgenesis/intragenesis, genome editing, and RNAi. However, some local important genotypes show recalcitrance to this morphogenetic strategy, which represents an obstacle genetic engineering techniques. Whole flowers, stamens, pistils three different Italian Vitis vinifera L. cul...

A parentage and a paternity-based approach were tested for estimation of pollen-mediated gene flow in wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. silvestris), a wind-pollinated species occurring in Mediterranean Europe and southwestern Asia. For this purpose, 305 seedlings collected in 2 years at 2 locations in France from 4 wild female individuals and 417 wild individuals prospected from France a...

Microplot experiments were conducted over two years (four growing seasons) to evaluate Meloidogyne incognita resistance in rootstocks used for grafted tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), muskmelon (Cucumis melo), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). Three tomato rootstocks; 'TX301', 'Multifort', and 'Aloha', were tested in addition to the nongrafted scion, 'Florida-47'. Two muskmelon rootstocks; Cucu...

salinity, as an abiotic stress, causes significant losses in horticultural production. future of grape production, as one of the most important economical horticultural fruits, depends on breeding programs and using salt tolerant rootstocks. the aim of this study was to investigate the salinity tolerance and the distribution of ions associated with salinity in six genotypes and varieties of gra...

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...

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential and highly toxic element causing agricultural problems. However, little information is available about the variation in Cd tolerance among apple rootstocks and its underlying physiological regulation mechanisms. This study investigated Cd accumulation, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms as well as physiological changes among four apple rootstocks exposed...
