Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers and fabrics are widely used for medical device applications such as vascular anterior cruciate ligament prostheses. Several years ago, we began functionalizing PET using anionic polymers to enhance their biocompatibility, cell adhesion, proliferation functional performance Polymer functionalization followed a grafting-from process from virgin sur...

Some results regarding the influence of some Solanum rootstocks on eggplant crops from Romania are in this study. Eggplants popular vegetables all around world. Among grafting aims fruit yield and quality. Eggplant has been a tradition for over 15 years at Horting Institute Bucharest. Grafting combinations used have S. melongena scions (Aragon F1 Hazera, Israel Luiza variety Research–Developmen...

in this study, a landrace melon zarde jalali as the scion and commercial varieties of cucurbita rootstocks cv., shintozwa and ferro-rz was used as the rootstock. grafted plants upon commercial varieties of cucurbita with own-rooted and ungrafted at three irrigation levels of 60, 80 and 100% (respectively 4984.32, 6124.82 and 7239.41 m3ha-1) based on total available water depletion with drip irr...

Grafting tomatoes with vigorous rootstocks can be used to increase yield in high tunnels without significant soilborne disease pressure. However, evidence suggests that grafting high-yielding could compromise the accumulation of primary and secondary metabolites. ‘Tasti Lee’ is a hybrid tomato bred have superior fresh-eating quality higher lycopene content. The objective this experiment was inv...

Grafting on epicotyl of young seedlings has been introduced as a simple and rapid method for walnut propagation. Although this technique improves the grafting success and propagation efficiency, it is technically more demanding than the conventional walnut grafting procedures and is yet to be optimized. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of rootstock type (dwarf and standard geno...

Citrus cultivation involves the widespread practice of grafting, which has a significant impact on citrus development and fruit quality yield. However, understanding effect flavonoid compounds after different rootstock grafting have been limited. Flavonoid compounds, found at highest levels in peels, contribute to improving nutritional value. In this study, scion-rootstock interaction was inves...

Globally, there has been an increase in stringent regulations governing the use of chemical soil fumigants for controlling diseases, pests, and weeds. Grafting identified as effective alternative to fumigation managing soilborne diseases pests intensive vegetable cropping systems. The majority watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus ) grafting research confirms that selected rootstocks play a role impro...
