      Vegetable Grafting

      Principles and Practices

      by Giuseppe Colla, Francisco Pérez-Alfocea, Dietmar Schwarz

      This book provides comprehensive, current scientific and applied practical knowledge on vegetable grafting, a method gaining considerable interest that is used to protect crops from soil-borne diseases, abiotic stress and to enhance growth/yield. Though the benefits of using grafted transplants are now fully recognized worldwide, understanding the rootstock/scion interactions under variable environmental pressures remains vital for grafting-mediated crop improvement. In this book the authors attend to this need and explain the reasons for, and methods and applications of, grafting. Vegetable Grafting: Principles and Practices covers: · rootstock breeding, signalling, and physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in grafting; · beneficial effects of grafting including reducing disease damage and abiotic stress; · side effects relating to the impact of grafting on fruit quality; and · practical applications and speciality crops. Including high-quality colour images and written by an international team of expert authors, this book provides up-to-date scientific data and is also concerned with translating science to the field. It is an essential resource for researchers, advanced technicians, practitioners and extension workers. ; This book provides comprehensive and current scientific and practical knowledge on vegetable grafting, a method gaining considerable interest as an alternative to the use of fumigants to protect crops from soil-borne diseases. ; 1: Introduction to vegetable grafting1.1: Importance and use of vegetable grafting1.2: The process of vegetable grafting 1.3: Problems associated with vegetable grafting1.4: Conclusions2: Genetic resources for rootstock breeding2.1: Genetic diversity2.2: Genebank collections 2.3: Current usage of genetic material in rootstocks2.4: Germplasm collection of other plant families2.5: Concluding remarks3: Rootstock breeding: current practices and future technologies3.1: Introduction3.2: Stacking traits: meiosis or grafting or both?3.3: Developing stable, core collections of germplasm for breeding3.4: Deploying genetic diversity for rootstocks3.5: Grafting as a tool for genetic hybridisation and chimera production3.6: Selection of improved rootstocks3.7: Transgenic rootstocks3.8: Rootstock registration and commercialization4: Rootstock-scion signalling: key factors mediating scion performance 4.1: Introduction4.2: Current knowledge of ionic and chemical signalling between rootstock and scion4.3: Conclusions5: Physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying graft compatibility5.1: Introduction5.2: Anatomical and physiological steps during graft union development5.3: Role of secondary metabolites at the interface in graft incompatibility5.4: Cell-to-cell communication between graft partners5.5: Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in graft union formation and compatibility.5.6: Methods for examining graft union development and compatibility5.7: Conclusions and future perspectives6: Grafting as agro-technology for reducing disease damage6.1: Introduction6.2: The first step: Managing diseases in the nursery 6.3: Disease spread from the nursery to the field, the example of powdery mildew of watermelons6.4: Intra- and interspecific grafting and their relations to diseases6.5: Biotic or abiotic stress?

      Cherries: Crop Physiology, Production and Uses

      by Edited by A D Webster, Norman E Looney

      The sweet cherry is one of the most popular of temperate fruit crops with consumers and is grown commercially in more than 40 countries of the world, in temperate, Mediterranean, subtropical and arid regions of all continents. The sour cherry is cultivated in fewer countries, mainly in Europe and the USA, and is used mainly in processed cherry products. Until recently, horticultural improvement of cherries as a commercial crop has been slow, and major production problems such as bird damage, rain-induced cracking, and bacterial diseases, have remained. However, in the last 25 years, major developments have occurred. New improved varieties of sweet cherry have been bred which have larger fruit, are more disease resistant and set fruit more reliably. Improved sour cherry varieties have also been bred and mechanised systems of harvesting introduced. New dwarfing rootstocks are now being released. This book provides a comprehensive review of all of these topics, and many more. It covers all aspects of the botany, production and uses of sweet and sour cherries, and represents a definitive reference work for students and research workers in horticulture as well as professional fruit growers.

      Fruit Breeding

      Approaches and Achievements

      by Anil Kumar Shukla, Arun Kumar Shukla, M.B. Noor mohamed, Akath Singh & Divya Tiwari

      The pressure of an ever-increasing population and periodic famine due to unexpected flood and drought has forced and awakened the horticultural scientist, to evolve new plant types for diversified use. Besides, some limitations in the improvement of fruit crop such as long juvenile phase, high heterozygosity, limited information on inheritance pattern, excessive fruit drop, parthenocarpy and lesser number of seeds per fruit, hybridization, selection, mutation and other tools of fruit breeding have resulted in the development of a number of varieties in mango, grape, papaya, banana and guava for various purposes. The present 2nd fully revised and enlarged edition of the much awaited book Fruit Breeding Approaches and Achievements is ventured with the objective to provide latest possible information on basic approaches in fruit breeding, breeding for biotic stresses resistance, use of plant growth regulators in fruit improvement, improvement of important fruit crops such as mango, banana, papaya, grape, guava, citrus, ber, aonla, pomegranate, date palm, litchi, coconut, cashewnut, pineapple, temperate and underutilized fruits in a broad spectrum.

      Chapeo

      by Johan Mijail

      Chapeo presents, in a Caribbean full of superimpositions, a body that History wanted to have enclosed in itself, which opens up as it travels through a contemporary Santo Domingo: there it touches the Dominican neighborhood intelligence at the same time that it enters into combustion. Between dembow and neoperreo, cuerpx-negrx-travesti becomes a spiritual device for luases and metresas to express themselves through; it looks the economy and the system in the face, and unfolds a desire that, as Iki Yos Piña Narváez points out in the prologue, connects with all the "bodies that do not fit in with the eurosomateca [...], in the Caribbean where the foundation of the history of pain took place". The chapeo, that infinite word and action, here is something else. This novel is written as the Caribbean rhizome, as an expression that snatches the apparent order to move everything, like a hurricane.

      Fruit Breeding

      by M.R.Dinesh

      Fruit Breeding is an art and science demanding prolonged time, space and intrinsic qualities. Seed propagation leads to heterogeneity and asexual propagation of elite clones leads to newer and novel types. There are temperate, sub-tropical and tropical fruits differing in photo and thermo periodic requirements. There are also parthenocarpic and apomictic fruit trees demanding special breeding methods for improvement. Aroma, taste and flavor are unique to fruits unlike other horticultural crops like vegetables, spices, plantation crops and tubers. The book unravels history of fruit breeding, biodiversity, challenges approaches and prospects, apomixes, mutation breeding, role of insects in fruit production, molecular markers, statistical techniques, rootstock breeding, breeding of mango, citrus, banana, papaya, guava, sapota, jackfruit, sugarapple/sweetsop Indian jujube and jamun. The 20 chapters in the book authored by 15 scientists from 6 Research Institutes and Universities expose readers to a new world of fruit breeding, very seldom ventured by breeders.
