The development of water stress resistant lines of commercial tomato by breeding or genetic engineering is possible, but will take considerable time before commercial varieties are available for production. However, grafting commercial tomato lines on drought resistant rootstock may produce drought tolerant commercial tomato lines much more rapidly. Due to changing climates and the need for com...

The present study examined free-radical scavenging enzyme activity and the levels of lipid peroxide, ascorbic acid, nitric oxide and glutathione in 1616C rootstock and the Razaki cultivar of Vitis vinifera L. under treatment with different concentrations of salt. At day 7, in leaves of both 1616C rootstock and cv. Razaki treated with 12 mM NaCl there were significant increases in glutathione pe...

The performance of three different rootstock (Adara (Prunus cerasifera L.), SL 64 (Prunus mahaleb), and Colt (Prunus avium x Prunus pseudocerasus)) as nutrient suppliers has been studied for sweet cherry cultivars (Prunus avium L.). The results obtained suggested that, depending on the rootstock, the trees are submitted to different degrees of stress. According to the data obtained, it could be...

Linepithema micans (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is the main ant species responsible for the spread of Eurhizococcus brasiliensis (Wille) (Hemiptera: Margarodidae), a soil scale that damages vine plants in southern Brazil. The daily foraging activity of L. micans and its seasonal preference for proteinand carbohydrate-based foods were evaluated. The study was carried out in a greenhouse usi...

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 ...

We present a sampling algorithm for a regular vine on n variables which starts at an arbitrary variable. A sampling order whose nested conditional probabilities can be written as products of (conditional) copulas in the vine and univariate margins is said to be implied by the regular vine. We show that there are 2 implied sampling orders for any regular vine on n variables. We show that two reg...

Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the effect full irrigation (FI), pre-veraison water deficit (RDI 1), or post-veraison 2) on growth, yield, and berry quality in container-grown, mature vines cv. Sangiovese grafted onto either 1103P SO4 rootstock over two consecutive growing seasons. Deficit regimes significantly affected vine status both rootstocks before after veraison. Trunk d...
