“…Yield is controlled by the root-stock in various perennial species including the rubber tree (Cardinal et al 2007), grape (Soar et al 2006; Main et al 2002), peach (Tsipouridis and Thomidis 2005), mango (Smith et al 2003), sweet cherry (Whiting et al 2005; Robinson et al 2006), pear (Bertelsen and Callesen 2001; North and Cook 2008), clementine (Bassal 2009) and apricot (Hernández et al 2010). The changes in yield varied up to 6.5-fold (Whiting et al 2005) depending on the crop and the type of rootstocks examined.…”

Rootstock scion somatogenetic interactions in perennial composite plants

2013

The ancient plant production practice of grafting which instantly imparts new physiological properties to the desirable scion still remains shrouded in mystery. Yet, grafting remains a widely used technique in the production of several horticultural species. In a composite grafted plant, rootstocks control many aspects of scion growth and physiology including yield and quality attributes as well as biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. Broadly, physical, physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms have been reviewed to develop an integrated understanding of this enigmatic process that challenges existing genetic paradigms. This review summarizes the reported mechanisms underlying some of the economically important traits and identifies several key points to consider when conducting rootstock scion interaction experiments. Study of the somatogenetic interactions between rootstock and scion is a field that is ripe for discovery and vast improvements in the coming decade. Further, utilization of rootstocks based on a better understanding of the somatogenetic interactions is highly relevant in the current agricultural environment where there is a need for sustainable production practices. Rootstocks may offer a non-transgenic approach to rapidly respond to the changing environment and expand agricultural production of annual and perennial crops where grafting is feasible in order to meet the global food, fiber and fuel demands of the future.

“…The impact of these interactions on several aspects of plant growth and development is an area under extensive investigation for the past many years (Rogers and Beakbane 1957;Webster 2004;Martinez-Ballesta et al 2010;Koepke and Dhingra 2013). In the case of an out-breeding tree species like rubber, the impact of these interactions is well apparent by the intraclonal variations observed in latex yield (Cardinal et al 2007). Since rubber is an economically important crop where the major agronomic trait of interest is latex yield from the bark, plant to plant intraclonal variation may have huge impact on the productivity of plantations.…”

“…In the case of H. brasiliensis, the influence of rootstocks on the growth and yield of the scion was well demonstrated by Ng et al (1981). Subsequent studies with respect to growth and rubber yield in Hevea by Cardinal et al (2007) show that selection of rootstock material is vital for obtaining compatibility values for dry rubber yield. Evidence for this type of interactions at the protein level was provided by Almansa et al (2002) in lemon tree leaves where they proved that the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the leaves was rootstock controlled and varied more by rootstock than the salt levels tested when different rootstocks were used.…”

Genetic and epigenetic uniformity of polyembryony derived multiple seedlings of Hevea brasiliensis

et al. 2014

Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg (Para rubber tree) is a tropical tree species of Amazonian origin widely cultivated in several parts of the world for natural rubber, a highly priced commodity inevitable for the world rubber industry. Large, tree to tree variation in growth and latex yield among individual plants of high yielding Hevea clones is a common phenomenon observed in mature rubber plantations. The genetic heterogeneity of the seedlings which are used as rootstocks for propagation through budgrafting is considered as a major factor responsible for this variation. In order to minimize this variation, attempts were made to develop highly uniform rootstock material via an in vitro technique by inducing zygotic polyembryony in Hevea. Immature open pollinated fruits of a high yielding clone RRII 105 were cultured by half ovulo embryo culture technique. Multiple embryos were induced from the 8-10-week-old zygote with a novel combination of gibberellic acid (GA3), kinetin, and zeatin. Plantlets were successfully generated from the multiple embryos and raised in the field post hardening. Screening using genetic and epigenetic molecular markers revealed that the multiple seedlings developed are highly uniform and are of single zygotic origin. Development of plants having genetic and epigenetic uniformity suggests that this technique is ideal for raising uniform rootstock material in Hevea which may significantly reduce intraclonal variations. Moreover, these plants could serve as ideal material for physiological and molecular investigations towards the understanding of stock-scion interaction process in rubber.

“…Production of clonal rootstocks is still not commercially feasible. Estimation of general compatibility (rootstocks and scion) and specific compatibility (for all combinations of six rootstocks and scions) for rubber yield, showed a strong rootstock effect on yield (CARDINAL et al, 2007). Long term data related to the effect of rootstock on scion performance in the traditional rubber growing belt of southern India is meager, and most of the previous studies were confined to parameters other than long term growth and yield.…”

Effect of monoclonal and assorted seedling rootstocks on long term growth and yield of Hevea clones

et al. 2012

Seven Hevea brasiliensis clones were evaluated on two types of rootstocks, assorted seedling rootstocks (AR) and monoclonal rootstock (MR) over 19 years. Influence of rootstock on scion growth and rubber yield was assessed based on juvenile height, circumference of the main trunk (cm), number of branches, branching height and cumulative dry rubber yield (g per tree per tapping, conventionally abbreviated gt-1t-1). Highest cumulative yield (g per tree per tapping) over the 12 years for which the trees were tapped was obtained from clone RRII 105 (MR: 1076 g per tree per tapping and AR: 497 g per tree per tapping), followed by RRII 203 (MR: 661; AR: 538), RRII 208 (MR: 477; AR: 486), RRII 118 (MR: 497; AR: 452). Gl 1 yielded the least, 219 g per tree per tapping (MR) and 378 g per tree per tapping (AR); GT1 produced 335 g per tree per tapping (MR) and 375 g per tree per tapping (AR). RRII 118 had the greatest circumference at age 19 (91.4 cm on MR) 88.8 on AR, followed by RRII 105 (MR: 87.4 cm AR: 89.2 cm) and GT 1 (MR: 88.5 cm; AR: 84.4cm). Effect of scion clone was significant (p<0.01) only for trunk circumference at opening, but not for cumulative rubber yield at age 11 (4 years after opening) or cumulative rubber yield at age 19 (12 years after opening). Most importantly, rootstock and clone × rootstock interaction did not significantly affect rubber yield or tree circumference at any evaluation time. There was no evidence to suggest that growth and yield of clones was influenced significantly by rootstock type.
