The experiment was carried out during 2015-2016, with the aim of investigating the effects of scion cultivar, rootstock age and hormonal treatments on the success of walnut minigrafting. Analysis of results showed that all studied factors were effective on graft-take and survival of minigrafted walnuts and other growth traits of the scions. The highest graft-take was observed on one-year-old ro...

walnut is one of the most important nut crops in iran. in order to achieve an appropriate and economical production of old seedling orchards of this product, the only fastest and most cost-effective possible option for improving seedling trees is graft operation through top-working using the new improved cultivars in the world. this study was conducted as a  factorial experiment in a randomized...

BACKGROUND Full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) is a very versatile tool regularly used in small sizes. With the established knowledge of the graft take through the margins as well as wound bed, we extended the use of the FTSG for reconstruction of large-sized defects with satisfactory results.  METHODS We presented our experience in wound reconstruction using FTSG in 28 patients. We select...

Citrus relatives are a relevant source of valuable traits for use in citrus breeding, including resistance to diseases such as Huanglongbing (HLB). Resistant rootstocks may impact tree responses HLB. This requires graft compatibility, which has been poorly investigated within the Aurantioideae. In this study, biometric characteristics and anatomy union 86 scion/rootstock combinations were asses...

Objective To compare the outcomes of securing full-thickness skin grafting (FTSG) with through-and-through mattress suturing versus the classic tie-over and pressure dressing and identify the associated risk factors of graft failure. Methods A single-institution, retrospective case series of patients who had undergone excision of head and neck skin lesions requiring FTSG over a 10-year period...

OBJECTIVE For skin defects caused by full-thickness burns, trauma, or tumor tissue excision, skin grafting is one of the most convenient and useful treatment methods. In this situation, graft fixation is important in skin grafting. This study was performed to compare the effectiveness of skin graft fixation between high-concentration fibrin sealant and sutures. There have been numerous studies ...

Cartilage is one of the most preferable grafts for tympanoplasty (TPL). The anatomical and audiological results and take rates of perichondrium attached cartilage island graft in tympanoplasty (PACIT) are presented herein. One hundred ninety four ears of 191 patients (108 male, 83 female) were evaluated retrospectively in terms of the type of surgery, graft take rate and hearing results. Type I...
