Abstract:
The fruit cultivars generally do not come true to type when raised from seed and must, therefore, be propagated through vegetative methods. Majority of them are difficult to establish on their own roots and are normally budded or grafted as scions either on seedling or on vegetatively raised clonal rootstocks. In the composite tree, the two components, i.e. the rootstock and the scion, because of their different genetic constitution, exert a great degree of influence on each other affecting their performance throughout their life period. The main characteristics of rootstock-scion inter-relations have become apparent from the earlier studies and it is well established that rootstock influence on the scion is much greater as compared to the scion influence on rootstock.Cite
Abstract Understanding how root systems modulate shoot system phenotypes is a fundamental question in plant biology and will be useful in developing resilient agricultural crops. Grafting is a common horticultural practice that joins the roots (rootstock) of one plant to the shoot (scion) of another, providing an excellent method for investigating how these two organ systems affect each other. In this study, we use the French-American hybrid grapevine ‘Chambourcin’ ( Vitis L.) as a model to explore the rootstock-scion relationship. We examined leaf shape, ion concentrations, and gene expression in ‘Chambourcin’ grown own-rooted as well as grafted to three different rootstocks (‘SO4’, ‘1103P’ and ‘3309C’) across two years and three different irrigation treatments. Results described here demonstrate that 1) the largest source of variation in leaf shape stems from the interaction of rootstock by irrigation; 2) leaf position, but also rootstock and rootstock by irrigation interaction, are the primary sources of variation in leaf ion concentrations; and 3) gene expression in scion leaves exhibited significantly different patterns of gene expression from ungrafted vines, and these expression patterns were rootstock-specific. Our work provides an initial description of the subtle and complex effect of grafting on ‘Chambourcin’ leaf morphology, ionomics and gene expression in grapevine scions. Further work across multiple years, environments and additional phenotypes is required in order to determine how the relationship between the rootstock and the scion can best be leveraged for adapting grapevines to a changing climate.

SummaryThe contributions by scion and by rootstock to a number of aspects of the growth and form of four-year-old deblossomed compound trees have illustrated that major contrasts may occur between the influence of a given clone when present as a scion to that when present as a rootstock. Nevertheless, contributions by scion and by rootstock, assessed upon all combinations as scion and as rootstock of all clones in the experiment, are largely additive, mean squares for scion/rootstock interaction being often statistically insignificant or, relatively, quite unimportant. Such conclusions arise, with the clones examined, in the cases of apple, quince and cherry.

Background and Aims: Grafting is used in viticulture worldwide. Rootstocks are known to alter scion development or 'confer vigour' to varying degrees. This work examines scion/rootstock interactions in young grafted grapevines. Its aim was to determine the effects of scion and rootstock genotypes on biomass allocation within the plant. Methods and Results: Five months after grafting, biomass allocation between the root and the shoot was measured for all the scion/rootstock combinations made between three Vitis genotypes. The scion genotype explained the highest percentage of the non-random variance for biomass allocation within the plant, including biomass allocation to the roots, i.e. it conferred differences in root vigour. In addition, we developed a double-grafted system, in which a single scion was grafted onto two rootstocks, to analyse further scion (or carbon source) effects on root development. Conclusions: This work provides evidence of conferred root vigour by the scion which does not appear to be related to carbon supply from the shoot. The genotypes studied display varying levels of plasticity in their response to different grafting partners. Significance of the Study: This work presents detailed analysis of biomass allocation within young grafted vines. In young grafted grapevines, the scion genotype has a major effect on most parameters of development, especially in the root. This aspect of rootstock/scion interactions should be taken into account when selecting rootstocks. A double-grafting system was developed for future research on signalling pathways and exchange mechanisms between scion and rootstock in grafted grapevine.

Biological characteristics of dwarf peach rootstocks refer to the effect of increasing compatibility (scion, rootstock) productivity, longevity, resistance to disease and pests, uniformity individuals. Considering that fruit production is influenced by association scion rootstock and varieties should be chosen depending on the conditions rootstock of the plantation will be established prerequisites for obtaining optimal plantations. Modern research focused on obtaining rootstocks with small height allows the intensive plantations of peach. Dwarf rootstocks are one of the easiest and cheapest ways to obtain fruit trees with small and medium size. The vigour rootstock is of major importance in the implementation of rootstocks production. Influence of the rootstock scion manifests phenotypic characters influence the physiological variety grafted on rootstock remains as long as the association survives (size, precocity, and productivity, resistance to ground and climatic factors, longevity fruit trees). Goals the dwarf rootstocks in the programmed type of research include the following: vegetative propagation of rootstocks; propagation through modern methods; good compatibility between scion and the rootstocks; good production; plasticity and longevity in conditions of minimum soil tillage.

SummaryThe paper presents the data for final tree sizes derived from five years’ studies covering the post-establishment growth of all combinations, as rootstocks and as scions, of three rootstock clones of contrasting vigour, involving four tree species, apple, quince, plum and cherry. The results demonstrate the similarity of scion/rootstock relations over this range, and suggest that cautious extrapolation to other woody species of findings from, say, apple is fully justified. The effect of root-stock and of scion tissues upon tree size and growth was found to be additive, with small or negligible statistical interactions. The influence of a given clonal tissue on tree size when present as rootstock or as scion is not necessarily the same and, indeed, may differ very markedly. Relative growth rates in the fourth (plum) or fifth years are discussed.
