The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology (JHSB) celebrates, in 2019, a century of continuously publishing peer-review, research-based articles and reviews. Since 1919 scientific discoveries and their application through subsequently evolved industrial technologies have formed the basis for enormous advances and changes in the production of fruit, vegetables and ornamentals. New industries have been founded and expanded as a result of scientific discoveries. Science has brought greater precision, predictability and reliability into horticultural crop production raising the quality and range of products available for consumers. Market forces themselves have imposed vast change in the manner by which horticultural products are produced and sold altering the industrial structures. Horticultural industries have coped with and thrived on these changes because of their swift and effective adoption of discoveries in horticultural science which in turn has driven the need for more research in a cyclic process. This review follows, through a selection of articles published in JHSB, the evolution of aspects of horticultural science and identifies how change has influenced crops and their production.Topics considered of particular prominence in the evolution of horticultural science include: pollination, fertility and compatibility; roots and rootstocks; growth regulation and plant propagation; breeding and nomenclature; nutrition; crop protection; cultivation and management; interactions between environment and growth; water-use efficiency; storage; and environment and social welfare. The history of change in horticultural science and the industries which it serves is contained within the articles selected. They demonstrate the 2 successful manner in which JHSB has fulfilled the aspirations of its founders for a sciencebased journal which offers new ideas for industry. It has survived through one-hundred years vindicating the founders' aspirations. This review does not rigorously dissect and analyse each individual aspect of horticultural science used in charting the history of JHSB's academic voyage. It uses them as signposts showing avenues of new and developing knowledge and scholarship also identifying where discoveries have resulted in industrial progress.

“…Assessment of growth potential of rootstock clones T h e growth potential of rootstock clones is usually assessed on the vigour induced in the grafted tree. Many field trials have shown that the effect of a rootstock on tree size is relatively similar for a wide range of scions, though scion partialities may exist (Hatton, 1935;Preston, 1966). The natural vigour of the rootstock when unworked is less well known, for rootstock arboreta commonly contain only single specimens, and few experiments have included a wide range of unworked rootstocks grown on for many years.…”

A relationship between leaf structure and growth potential in apple

SUMMARY The number of palisade mesophyll cells per unit area leaf lamina was related to the growth potential of apple rootstocks covering a wide range of vigour. The number of these cells per unit leaf surface depends on cell diameter, the number of layers of palisade, and the amount of intercellular airspace. In composite, grafted trees rootstock influence was observed on the leaf structure of scions of low, or intermediate, growth potential.

“…I n Europe, seedlings were widely used as rootstocks at one time, but this practice has now been largely superseded by using vegetatively propagated rootstocks that ensure greater uniformity of tree behaviour in the field. This change has been almost entirely due to the pioneer work of Hatton at East Malling, who selected and tested in the nursery and plantation the rootstocks we now call the Malling clones (Hatton, 1935). Owing to the economic importance of the apple crop it is hardly surprising that most work has been concentrated upon the selection and improvement of rootstocks for this crop.…”
