Mastic tree is a dioecious tree but the quantity and quality of the resin secreted by female trees are very low; therefore, male trees that are clonally propagated are used to establish commercial plantations for mastic production. Conventional long branch cuttings for clonal production requires too much materials and has a very low rooting rate. Rooting with tissue culture and green cuttings has also failed outdoors. Grafting of mastic on other Pistacia species has not been tried so far; therefore, this study was aimed at developing grafting methods for the clonal propagation of mastic. P. atlantica and P. lentiscus rootstocks were grafted from 15 February to 15 October every 15 days using three grafting methods and a two-factor randomized block trial design. Early spring (15 February-15 March) proved to be the best time for grafting using either of the rootstocks. The highest grafting success was attained using the scions grafted on P. atlantica from 15 February to 15 March. The best bud-burst percentage was obtained using P. atlantica and P. lentiscus rootstocks.展开更多

The results showed that the grafted cucumber could significantly improve the production, and different rootstock had a certain effect on the survival rate and fruit quality. Jinhuanghou and Fengyijiajiewang as rootstock had the highest survival rate, which were 79.0% and 70.7%, respectively. As rootstocks of greenhouse cucumber, Jinhuanghou, Lvzhoujuxing, Fengyi, Huofenghuang, and Dawei No.17 were better than others according to taste, and Heizinangua, Jinhuanghou, Fengyi, Huofenghuang, and Dawei No. 17 were better according to output.展开更多

Two Rosa species i.e. R. canina and R. manetti were selected as rootstock and three different hybrid tea rose cultivars namely Avalanch, Peach Avalanch and Dolcevita were grafted on them as scion through omega and splice techniques. The growth parameters were collected 57 days after grafting. The highest average of rooting, healing percentage, numbers of root, shoot and leaves were seen in September grafted plants. In overall Rosa canina was the best rootstock for Avalanch cultivar. Other observations did not lead to any prominent result as it varied with time of grafting, scion and rootstock cultivars.展开更多

The Avalanch and Peach Avalanch glasshouse rose varieties were utilized as scion and grafted on R. manetti as rootstock. Two grafting techniques namely, splice and omega grafting methods were practiced and graft combinations were inserted in cocopeat-perlit (1:2) medium under mist system. The number of roots, longest root size, shoots and leaf numbers and successful grafting percentage were evaluated after grafting. In Avalanch/R. manetti and Peach Avalanch/R. manetti combinations, higher percentage of successful grafting was observed in the stentlings propagated via omega grafting technique. Furthermore Avalanch/R. manetti stentlings prepared by omega grafting were found to produce more number of roots, shoots and leaves and longest root size as compared to those propagated through splice grafting method. In case of Peach Avalanch/R. manetti combinations propagated via omega grafting more number of shoots was observed as compared to those propagated by splice method. However, these were not significantly different with respect to their leaf numbers. The results showed the superiority of omega grafting procedure.展开更多

[Methods] The scions of two different watermelon varieties Qianmei No. 1,which has yellow flesh,and Qianli No. 1,which has red flesh,were grafted onto six different rootstocks of Lagenaria and Citrullus. Then,the seedling survival rate,growth potential and fruit quality in different rootstock-scion combinations were investigated.[Results]Rootstock type showed an extremely significant correlation with the survival rate of grafted watermelon plants. The watermelons grafted onto Lagenaria rootstocks had higher survival rate and better fruit quality than those onto Cucurbita rootstocks. Among them,Jingxinzhenguan was more suitable for red-fleshed watermelon variety,and bottle gourd rootstock was more suitable for yellow-fleshed watermelon variety. There were significant correlations between rootstock type and the number of leaves,the number of branches and the length of main vine of grafted plants. The number of leaves per seedling of all grafted plants was higher than that of non-grafted plants. There were no significant differences in sugar content at the center part of flesh and total soluble sugar content of fruit between the grafted and non-grafted watermelons. In addition,the interaction between rootstock type and watermelon variety had no significant effect on vegetative growth and fruit quality of grafted watermelon. [Conclusions] This study provides a theoretical basis for the grafting of watermelon.展开更多
