The selection for crop cultivars that are tolerant to low iron levels could be one of the approaches to solving the problem and improving crop production. [Method] Three major apple root stock species (Malus prunifolia, Malus sieversii and Malus baccata) were selected to evaluate their tolerance to iron defciency in hydroponic system. A 3×2 factorial pot experiment was conducted with three replicates in a greenhouse at Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou, China. [Result] The SOD, POD and CAT activities in roots and stems of the 3 root stock species in Fe-defcient Hoagland solution decreased, however Malus sieversii got the less reduction and had better root architecture and growth than the other species. The aboveground biomass, plant height, chlorophyll content, total root length and lateral root number were correlated positively with iron-defciency stress tolerance. The species’ tolerance to iron-defciency from high to low was M. sieversii’s〉M. baccata’s〉M. prunifolia’s. Moreover, the improvement of some morphological features such as root length, above-ground biomass, plant height and lateral root number in apple could be conducive to breeding cultivars with tolerance to iron-defciency stress. [Conclusion] Malus sieversii had better tolerance to iron-defciency stress than the others in this study.展开更多

One effort to solve the problem is by using tolerant clones or varieties as the rootstocks. The aim of this research is to observe influence of BP 308, BP 409, and Exelsa as rootstocks, on growth, yield and bean quality of BP 409, BP 534, BP 936 and BP 939 clones as scions. The research was conducted in Temanggung district of Central Java, Indonesia, using randomized complete block design with 5 replications 10 plants per replication. The result showed that rootstock influenced stem height and number of branches, leaf relative water content (RWC) during dry season, but not stem diameter. BP 308 and BP 409 rootstocks supplied water more than Exelsa, it seem RWC scion on both rootstocks were higher (82.0%) than that of Exelsa (80.0%). Exelsa rootstock cause scion grow more slowly, so bean yield was lower than on BP 308 and BP 409. Yield accumulation until 4 years old on Exelsa was 55% to BP 308, and 52.2% to BP 409 rootstock. Yield of BP 939/BP 308 and BP 409/BP 409 (scion/rootstock) tend to the highest. Rootstocks did not influence percentage of normal and abnormal beans and the outturns. Bean outturn was more influenced by clones. Exelsa rootstock improves caffeine content, body, astringent and bitterness characters of scion cherries, but decreases fragrance and aroma characters of scion yield. It is concluded that farther taxonomical relationship of rootstock, their influence on scion growth, yield and cup test characters are stronger.展开更多

The aim of this study was to characterize the effect of Adams, EMA and EMC quince rootstocks on ELS in European pear cultivar "Abate Fetel" in Southern Brazil, during the 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 growing season. The incidence and severity of disease was quantified weekly in 100 randomly leaves distributed in four medium-height branches per plant with eight replications. Disease progress curves of ELS were constructed and the epidemics compared according to: (1) the beginning of symptoms appearance (BSA); (2) the time to reach the maximum disease incidence and severity (TRMDI and TRMDS); (3) area under the incidence and severity disease progress curve (AUIDPC and AUSDPC). The data were analyzed by linear regression and adjusted for three empirical models: Logistic, Monomolecular and Gompertz. The Abate Fetel cultivar under all rootstocks evaluated was susceptible to E. mespili. However, there were significant differences in ELS intensity among rootstocks evaluated. The highest ELS intensities were observed in combinations with EMA and Adams quince rootstock. Abate Fetel cultivar grafted on EMC quince rootstock showed all epidemiological variables results significantly different when compared with EMA quince rootstock. EMC quince rootstock induced late resistance compared with the other considerated rootstocks. The Logistic model was the most appropriates to describe the ELS progress of Abate Fetel cultivar under all rootstocks evaluated in the edafoclimatic conditions of Southern Brazil, during the 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 growing season.展开更多

Rootstocks were selected by their tolerance to Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and acceptable adaptation to semi-add hot tropics environment. The first trial was planted in "Cerrito de Aguilar" (CA) location which had sandy-loam soil with a fluctuant water table at 100 cm depth. The second experiment was planted in "Crucero Tecoman" (CT) on a sandy deep soil with no water table restriction. At CT location the best Tahiti lime growth, yield and fruit quality were observed on Alemow rootstock. The same combination at CA showed a poor performance and was affected by diseases due to high moisture conditions by the superficial water table. Taiwanica, Swingle citrumelo and Rangpur lime rootstocks were less productive than Alemow, but showed a good adaptation and acceptable yield on both soil conditions. Among them, Swingle citrumelo was a promising rootstock because it showed standard tree growth, good yield and excellent fruit quality. Swingle citrumelo also showed an acceptable performance on soil with high presence ofPhytophthora sp. and moderate levels of calcium carbonate (near to 3,500 ppm). Taiwanica and Rangpur lime performed well during the six years of the experiment, but trees began to be affected by root diseases. Better performance of most Tahiti lime/rootstocks were found on sandy depth soil than on superficial wet soils.展开更多

Karyotypes were prepared from root-tip cells with 2n= 34 chromosomes. Seven out of 82 karyotypes (8.5%) showed one pair of satellites at the end of the short arm of chromosome 3. C-bands were shown on 6 pairs of chromosomes 2, 4,6, 8, 14, and 16 near the telomeric regions of short arms.Probes for three ripening-related genes from Malus x domestica: endopolygalacturonase (EPG,0. 6 kb ) , ACC oxidase (1.2 kb), and ACC synthase (2 kb) were hybridized in situ to metaphase chromosomes of A106. Hybridization sites for the EPG gene were observed on the long arm of chromosome 14 in 15 out of 16 replicate spreads and proximal to the centromere of chromosomes 6 and 11. For the ACC oxidase gene, hybridization sites were observed in the telomeric region of the short arm of chromosomes 5 and 11 in 87% and 81% of 16 spreads respectively proximal to the centromere of chromosome 1 in 81% of the spreads, and on the long arm of chromosome 13 in 50% of the spreads. Twenty five spreads were studied for the ACC synthase gene and hybridization sites were observed in the telomeric region of the short arm of chromosome 12 in 96% of the spreads, chromosomes 9 and 10 in 76% of the spreads, and chromosome 17 in 56% of the spreads.展开更多

In the experiment we evaluated next rootstocks: Nemaguard (Prunus persica × Prunus davidiana), seedlings of GF 677 (Prunus persica ×Prunus amygdalus), hybrids BMVA 1, BMVA 2, VAF 215 and Autochthones type and GF 677 (Prunus persica × Prunus amygdalus) clonal. As control rootstocks in our experiment was used seedlings from vineyard peach (Prunus persica). The experiment was established with one year old trees from Redhaven variety. Agronomical characteristics (vegetative growth, occurrence of leaf chlorosis, tree mortality, yield, productivity and fruit quality) of the trees on different rootstocks have been measured over a twelve-year period (1999-2010). Significant differences on the level of P 〈 0.05 have been observed on vigour of the trees. The most vigorous trees were those on GF 677 clonal, GF 677 seedling and BMVA 2. The trees on Vineyard peach and Nemaguard was the weakest ones. The highest cumulative yield was recorded on GF-677 clonal rootstock, and the lowest on Nemaguard. Occurrence of chlorosis was the highest at Vineyard peach, Nemaguard and Autochthones hybrid, GF 677 clonal was the only rootstock without iron chlorosis. The percent of tree mortality to twelfth year was the highest at Autochthones hybrid (33.3), and at GF 677 clonal and BMVA 1 had not tree mortality.展开更多

The somaclonal showed reduced vegetative vigour without any variation of the natural tree's architecture. The rootstock 'Gisela 6' caused change in genotype habitus inducing a spreading shape, while 'Colt' increased trunk diameter and height. Fruit quality and size were not affected by genotype nor rootstock. 'Gisela 6', from these preliminary data, had proved the most suitable rootstock for both genotypes since it reduced the tree size and vigor and induced early bearing and the production of a greater number of fruiting spurs.展开更多

Six-week-old of jatropha were grown in 11 L ofentisols (M1) and grumusols (M2) soil for 10 weeks, while andosols soil richer in organic carbon were used as control media (M0). Growth of shoot and primary as well as secondary roots were observed during and at the end of the experiment. Macro and micro nutrient uptake was also analyzed at the end of experiment. Ml and M2 caused dramatically reduction of roots as well as shoot growth of all accessions. The reduction of growth component was in accordance to all nutrient uptakes except Ca and Mg. The data showed that type of soil was one of important factors influencing growth and development of J. curcas. There were 4 accessions i.e. Sumatra-l (S1), Sumatra-2 (S2), Java-3 (J3) and Java-2 (J2) which had better roots and shoot characteristics that were potential to be used as rootstock plants.展开更多

Swingle) on growth and yield. Three types of mandarin and 13 trifoliate types including "C-35" and "Benton" used as interstocks, developed vigorous trees similar or more productive than the control. "Morton" and "Benecke" citranges, "Pomeroy" trifoliate trifoliate orange and the "Severinia buxifolia" interstocks showed a moderated effect on tree growth. Flying dragon (FDT) and Hiryu trifoliate oranges performed as semi-dwarfing interstocks. These interstocks reduced the tree height, canopy volume and surface area covered by the foliage on 25%-35%, 20%-30% and 20%-30%, respectively, compared to the control. While most interstocks surpassed the assigned area of growth (24 m2) in the 7th year, "FDT" and "Hiryu" did that at the 10th year. These semi-dwarfing interstocks produced up to 80 kg/tree per year. Most treatments recorded the highest production from the 8th to 10th year, except FDT and Hiryu, which showed the highest yield (130 kg/tree) from the 5th to 7th year. This study provides useful results to face the huanglongbing (HLB) problem using moderate or semi-dwarfing interstocks for Mexican lime orchards in high density plantations.展开更多

The experiment was carried out on "Golden" and "Gala" cultivars for two consecutive years (2010/2011 and 2011/2012). Moreover, a validation experiment was conducted on "MM106" apple rootstock during 2010/2011 only in Ethiopia. Variations in inverse of time to 50% budburst were interpreted in terms of evolution of growth capacity of the buds. Despite differences observed with chilling accumulation later in winter or early in spring, depending on environments, depth of endodormancy intensity during winter can be summarized as follows: buds from pruned shoots were less endodormant than terminal buds of the intact shoots and terminal buds were more endodormant than the dormancy intensity of upper buds of the disbudded shoots, suggesting proximal buds can grow more readily than does terminal ones. Our results provide evidence for the existence of a considerably strong paradormancy inhibition by distal shoot parts and buds, which was more pronounced in Ethiopia than in Belgium, highlighting the importance of designing and applying appropriate pruning and dormancy avoidance strategies in mild-winter climates. Finally, as still there is knowledge gap on bud dormancy progression and its control mechanism especially under mild climates, our study highlights the need for further in-depth research using biological and biochemical tests.展开更多

The research was conducted in Temanggung district of Central Java, Indonesia, using randomized complete block design with 5 replications 10 plants per replication. The result showed that rootstock influenced stem height and number of branches, leaf relative water content (RWC) during dry season, but not stem diameter. BP 308 and BP 409 rootstocks supplied water more than Exelsa, it seem RWC scion on both rootstocks were higher (82.0%) than that of Exelsa (80.0%). Exelsa rootstock cause scion grow more slowly, so bean yield was lower than on BP 308 and BP 409. Yield accumulation until 4 years old on Exelsa was 55% to BP 308, and 52.2% to BP 409 rootstock. Yield of BP 939/BP 308 and BP 409/BP 409 (scion/rootstock) tend to the highest. Rootstocks did not influence percentage of normal and abnormal beans and the outturns. Bean outturn was more influenced by clones. Exelsa rootstock improves caffeine content, body, astringent and bitterness characters of scion cherries, but decreases fragrance and aroma characters of scion yield. It is concluded that farther taxonomical relationship of rootstock, their influence on scion growth, yield and cup test characters are stronger.
文摘Entomosporium leaf spot (ELS) is caused by the fungus Fabraea maculata (anamorph: Entomosporium mespili) and affects most pear cultivars and quince rootstocks in Brazil. The aim of this study was to characterize the effect of Adams, EMA and EMC quince rootstocks on ELS in European pear cultivar "Abate Fetel" in Southern Brazil, during the 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 growing season. The incidence and severity of disease was quantified weekly in 100 randomly leaves distributed in four medium-height branches per plant with eight replications. Disease progress curves of ELS were constructed and the epidemics compared according to: (1) the beginning of symptoms appearance (BSA); (2) the time to reach the maximum disease incidence and severity (TRMDI and TRMDS); (3) area under the incidence and severity disease progress curve (AUIDPC and AUSDPC). The data were analyzed by linear regression and adjusted for three empirical models: Logistic, Monomolecular and Gompertz. The Abate Fetel cultivar under all rootstocks evaluated was susceptible to E. mespili. However, there were significant differences in ELS intensity among rootstocks evaluated. The highest ELS intensities were observed in combinations with EMA and Adams quince rootstock. Abate Fetel cultivar grafted on EMC quince rootstock showed all epidemiological variables results significantly different when compared with EMA quince rootstock. EMC quince rootstock induced late resistance compared with the other considerated rootstocks. The Logistic model was the most appropriates to describe the ELS progress of Abate Fetel cultivar under all rootstocks evaluated in the edafoclimatic conditions of Southern Brazil, during the 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 growing season.
文摘Two Tahiti lime (Citrus latifolia Tan.) experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of eight standard rootstocks on two different soil locations at Tecoman Colima, Mexico. Rootstocks were selected by their tolerance to Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and acceptable adaptation to semi-add hot tropics environment. The first trial was planted in "Cerrito de Aguilar" (CA) location which had sandy-loam soil with a fluctuant water table at 100 cm depth. The second experiment was planted in "Crucero Tecoman" (CT) on a sandy deep soil with no water table restriction. At CT location the best Tahiti lime growth, yield and fruit quality were observed on Alemow rootstock. The same combination at CA showed a poor performance and was affected by diseases due to high moisture conditions by the superficial water table. Taiwanica, Swingle citrumelo and Rangpur lime rootstocks were less productive than Alemow, but showed a good adaptation and acceptable yield on both soil conditions. Among them, Swingle citrumelo was a promising rootstock because it showed standard tree growth, good yield and excellent fruit quality. Swingle citrumelo also showed an acceptable performance on soil with high presence ofPhytophthora sp. and moderate levels of calcium carbonate (near to 3,500 ppm). Taiwanica and Rangpur lime performed well during the six years of the experiment, but trees began to be affected by root diseases. Better performance of most Tahiti lime/rootstocks were found on sandy depth soil than on superficial wet soils.
文摘The apple rootstock, A106 (Malus sieboldii), had 17 bivalents in pollen mother cells at meiotic metaphase 1,and 17 chromosomes in a haploid pollen cell. Karyotypes were prepared from root-tip cells with 2n= 34 chromosomes. Seven out of 82 karyotypes (8.5%) showed one pair of satellites at the end of the short arm of chromosome 3. C-bands were shown on 6 pairs of chromosomes 2, 4,6, 8, 14, and 16 near the telomeric regions of short arms.Probes for three ripening-related genes from Malus x domestica: endopolygalacturonase (EPG,0. 6 kb ) , ACC oxidase (1.2 kb), and ACC synthase (2 kb) were hybridized in situ to metaphase chromosomes of A106. Hybridization sites for the EPG gene were observed on the long arm of chromosome 14 in 15 out of 16 replicate spreads and proximal to the centromere of chromosomes 6 and 11. For the ACC oxidase gene, hybridization sites were observed in the telomeric region of the short arm of chromosomes 5 and 11 in 87% and 81% of 16 spreads respectively proximal to the centromere of chromosome 1 in 81% of the spreads, and on the long arm of chromosome 13 in 50% of the spreads. Twenty five spreads were studied for the ACC synthase gene and hybridization sites were observed in the telomeric region of the short arm of chromosome 12 in 96% of the spreads, chromosomes 9 and 10 in 76% of the spreads, and chromosome 17 in 56% of the spreads.
文摘The experimental orchard on calcareous soils in the Tikves region has been established in 1999, in order to investigate the influence of the rootstocks on the behaviour of the peach trees. In the experiment we evaluated next rootstocks: Nemaguard (Prunus persica × Prunus davidiana), seedlings of GF 677 (Prunus persica ×Prunus amygdalus), hybrids BMVA 1, BMVA 2, VAF 215 and Autochthones type and GF 677 (Prunus persica × Prunus amygdalus) clonal. As control rootstocks in our experiment was used seedlings from vineyard peach (Prunus persica). The experiment was established with one year old trees from Redhaven variety. Agronomical characteristics (vegetative growth, occurrence of leaf chlorosis, tree mortality, yield, productivity and fruit quality) of the trees on different rootstocks have been measured over a twelve-year period (1999-2010). Significant differences on the level of P 〈 0.05 have been observed on vigour of the trees. The most vigorous trees were those on GF 677 clonal, GF 677 seedling and BMVA 2. The trees on Vineyard peach and Nemaguard was the weakest ones. The highest cumulative yield was recorded on GF-677 clonal rootstock, and the lowest on Nemaguard. Occurrence of chlorosis was the highest at Vineyard peach, Nemaguard and Autochthones hybrid, GF 677 clonal was the only rootstock without iron chlorosis. The percent of tree mortality to twelfth year was the highest at Autochthones hybrid (33.3), and at GF 677 clonal and BMVA 1 had not tree mortality.
文摘The study considers the morphological and physiological behaviour of self-rooted sweet cherry CV (Cultivar) 'Hedelfinger' wild type (H) and somaclonal (HS) grafted on 'Gisela 6' and 'Colt' rootstock. The somaclonal showed reduced vegetative vigour without any variation of the natural tree's architecture. The rootstock 'Gisela 6' caused change in genotype habitus inducing a spreading shape, while 'Colt' increased trunk diameter and height. Fruit quality and size were not affected by genotype nor rootstock. 'Gisela 6', from these preliminary data, had proved the most suitable rootstock for both genotypes since it reduced the tree size and vigor and induced early bearing and the production of a greater number of fruiting spurs.
文摘To find Jatropha curcas L. accessions with characteristics suitable for rootstock plants, 11 selected accessions were analyzed in response to heavy soil. Six-week-old of jatropha were grown in 11 L ofentisols (M1) and grumusols (M2) soil for 10 weeks, while andosols soil richer in organic carbon were used as control media (M0). Growth of shoot and primary as well as secondary roots were observed during and at the end of the experiment. Macro and micro nutrient uptake was also analyzed at the end of experiment. Ml and M2 caused dramatically reduction of roots as well as shoot growth of all accessions. The reduction of growth component was in accordance to all nutrient uptakes except Ca and Mg. The data showed that type of soil was one of important factors influencing growth and development of J. curcas. There were 4 accessions i.e. Sumatra-l (S1), Sumatra-2 (S2), Java-3 (J3) and Java-2 (J2) which had better roots and shoot characteristics that were potential to be used as rootstock plants.
文摘This study was carried out to determine the effect of 21 Citrus interstocks and the control Citrus macrophylla rootstock budded with Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia (Chistm.) Swingle) on growth and yield. Three types of mandarin and 13 trifoliate types including "C-35" and "Benton" used as interstocks, developed vigorous trees similar or more productive than the control. "Morton" and "Benecke" citranges, "Pomeroy" trifoliate trifoliate orange and the "Severinia buxifolia" interstocks showed a moderated effect on tree growth. Flying dragon (FDT) and Hiryu trifoliate oranges performed as semi-dwarfing interstocks. These interstocks reduced the tree height, canopy volume and surface area covered by the foliage on 25%-35%, 20%-30% and 20%-30%, respectively, compared to the control. While most interstocks surpassed the assigned area of growth (24 m2) in the 7th year, "FDT" and "Hiryu" did that at the 10th year. These semi-dwarfing interstocks produced up to 80 kg/tree per year. Most treatments recorded the highest production from the 8th to 10th year, except FDT and Hiryu, which showed the highest yield (130 kg/tree) from the 5th to 7th year. This study provides useful results to face the huanglongbing (HLB) problem using moderate or semi-dwarfing interstocks for Mexican lime orchards in high density plantations.
文摘A study was conducted to describe the progression of bud dormancy in 1-year-old apple (Malus x domestica Borkh) shoots grown at two contrasting climatic conditions (Belgium, temperate and Ethiopia, tropics). The experiment was carried out on "Golden" and "Gala" cultivars for two consecutive years (2010/2011 and 2011/2012). Moreover, a validation experiment was conducted on "MM106" apple rootstock during 2010/2011 only in Ethiopia. Variations in inverse of time to 50% budburst were interpreted in terms of evolution of growth capacity of the buds. Despite differences observed with chilling accumulation later in winter or early in spring, depending on environments, depth of endodormancy intensity during winter can be summarized as follows: buds from pruned shoots were less endodormant than terminal buds of the intact shoots and terminal buds were more endodormant than the dormancy intensity of upper buds of the disbudded shoots, suggesting proximal buds can grow more readily than does terminal ones. Our results provide evidence for the existence of a considerably strong paradormancy inhibition by distal shoot parts and buds, which was more pronounced in Ethiopia than in Belgium, highlighting the importance of designing and applying appropriate pruning and dormancy avoidance strategies in mild-winter climates. Finally, as still there is knowledge gap on bud dormancy progression and its control mechanism especially under mild climates, our study highlights the need for further in-depth research using biological and biochemical tests.
文摘A research on the topic was conducted at the Experimental Station of Agriculture--Khan Krum during the period 2009-2011. The dynamics of growth and thickening of the cultivars Independence, Nectagrand 2, Aureliogrand, Fantasy, Kassiopeia and Caldessi 2000 grafted on seedling rootstock (Elbert) and clonal GF-677 have been studied in the second year of nursery. The aim of the study was to investigate the growth characteristics of the introduced cultivars of nectarines grafted on traditional seedling rootstock (Elbert) and GF-677. At the beginning of the vegetation period of the seed cultivar rootstock (Elbert) has strong growth and thickening of the stem. The dynamics of growth and thickening of the stem depend on the used rootstock and cultivar. The obtained planting material corresponds to the existing quality standards.
