“…Abnormal fruit quality issues were reported previously for Cucurbitaceae grafting, including reduced fruit soluble solids content, insipid taste, and more fibers (Lee and Oda 2003;Koutsika-Sotiriou and Traka-Mavrona 2000). However, some researchers reported positive effects of grafting Cucurbitaceae, including an increase in soluble sugar, amino acids, and vitamin C content (Davis and Perkins-Veazie 2005;Salam et al 2002;YetıŞır et al 2003). Whereas our results showed nutritional qualities of grafted plants were similar to self-rooted controls, which were consistent with other studies (Miguel et al 2004;Bianco et al 2007).…”

“…Yield, external and interior quality characteristics of watermelon fruits in grafted plants are obviously affected by the scion variety but rootstock can change drastically these characteristics. Many conflicting results on changes in fruit quality resulting from grafting were reported [5,7,11,[39][40][41]. The differences in previous studies may be explained with different production conditions, type of rootstock/scion combination.…”

In this study carried out in 2009 and 2010 growing seasons, effect of rootstocks on plant nutrition partitioning in grafted watermelon onto four gourd rootstocks was investigated. Ferro, RS841 (Cucurbita maxima x C. moschata) and Argentario and Macis (Lagenaria hybrid) were used as rootstocks. Crimson Tide and Crisby watermelon cultivars were used as scion. Grafted and ungrafted seedlings were produced by a commercial seedling company. Plants were grafted by one cotyledon grafting techniques. Experiment was conducted in Alata Horticultural Research Station inMersin. The grafted plants were planted under low tunnel in early spring and regular cultural practices for watermelon were applied. Plant nutrition concentrations were determined in leaf, fruit rind, fruit flesh and seeds. Leaf sample was taken at flowering stage, rind, flesh and seed sample were taken from fully mature fruit. Nitrogen concentration was determined by modified Kjheldahl methods. Phosphorous concentration was determined by vanadomolybdophosphoric acid method. K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu concentration of samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Plant nutrient concentration in leaf, rind, flesh and seed were significantly affected by rootstocks. Increase in concentration of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in leaves was not observed in grafted plant. Ungrafted plant had higher concentration of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in their leaves. Ca concentration in rind of fruits from grafted watermelon was higher than ungrafted control plant except Crimson Tide/Macis and Crimson Tide/Argentario graft combinations. Plant nutrition content of fruit flesh was significantly affected by rootstocks and scion. Magnesium, Fe, Zn and Mn concentration of seed was not significantly influenced by rootstocks and scion while other plant nutrient content was significantly affected rootstocks and scion.

“…Liu et al (2004) reported that some Cucurbita spp. rootstocks decreased the total soluble solids content of watermelon fruits, but Salam et al (2002) reported a marked increase in the total soluble solids in grafted watermelons. Yetişir et al (2003) suggested that the total soluble solids and sugar content were greatly affected by grafting, albeit the results were dependent on the rootstock used.…”
