We investigated relationships between tree water status, vegetative growth and leaf gas exchange of peach trees growing on different rootstocks under field conditions. Tree water status was manipulated by partially covering (0, approximately 30 and approximately 60%) the tree canopies on individual days and then evaluating the effects of tree water status on vegetative growth and leaf gas excha...

The interim results of many years work on the creation pear varieties - genetic dwarfs and dwarf rootstocks an intensive type with a high adaptive potential suitable for setting gardens in conditions Central region Russia are presented. At first stage obtained from crossing highly winter-resistant disease-resistant donors various origins monogenic determined dwarfism, group resistance to diseas...

In some areas of cultivation, a lack of salt tolerance severely affects plant productivity. Apple, Malus x domestica Borkh., is sensitive to salt, and, as a perennial woody plant the mechanism of salt stress adaption will be different from that of annual herbal model plants, such as Arabidopsis. Malus zumi is a salt tolerant apple rootstock, which survives high salinity (up to 0.6% NaCl). To ex...

In the present article effect of dwarf clonal rootstock MM-106, M-9, M-26 on introduced apple-tree varieties was studied. With identified specificity productivity formation and quality fruits, taking into account methods cultivation. Fruits apple trees serve as a rich source pectin substances. The unique soil climatic conditions many regions our republic, contribute to industrial amateur cultiv...

Transition from vegetative to floral buds is a critical physiological change during flower induction that determines fruit productivity. Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) including microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are pivotal regulators of plant growth and development. Although the key role of sRNAs in flowering regulation has been well-described in Arabidopsis and some other ...
