“…Diverse experimental approaches have been used to compare various physiological characteristics in Dutch and Japanese tomatoes, including fruit weight and mesocarp thickness [22], effects of CO 2 concentration on fruit growth, relative source and sink strengths [23], leaf characteristics, and photosynthetic rate [24]. These studies mainly considered the differences between the aerial parts of Dutch and Japanese tomatoes, whereas little is known about the root systems despite their importance for vegetative growth and fruit yield.…”

Grafting is widely established in agriculture and provides practical advantages for vegetable production. We investigated physiological differences between the grafted combinations of Dutch (Starbuck and Maxifort) and Japanese (Reiyo, Receive and Magnet) tomato cultivars. Plants were grown hydroponically until the flowers on the first truss bloomed, and the following parameters were measured: fresh weight of the aerial parts, root surface area, root permeability (by using a pressure chamber), and water potential of exudates (by using an isopiestic psychrometer). The Starbuck/Maxifort combination had higher values of the aerial part weight, root surface area, and root permeability than Reiyo/Receive, whereas Reiyo/Maxifort tended to have higher values of these parameters than Reiyo/Receive and Reiyo/Magnet. Maxifort had a significantly larger root surface area than Receive, but root permeability was not significantly different. InReiyo/Maxifort and Starbuck/Receive, these parameters were not significantly different except for a single comparison of root permeability. Thus, root permeability and root surface area may depend not only on the rootstock but be also affected by scion in grafted plants. Water potential of exudates was similar in most combinations and experiments. This shows that three rootstock cultivars provided similar nutrient concentrations even with different scions.

“…The main factor affecting the difference in fruit yield per plant was the increase in fruit set in 'Levanzo' (Table 1, Figure 1). Matsuda et al (2011b) reported that increasing fruit number per truss may improve the yields of Japanese tomato cultivars under high source/sink conditions such as high CO 2 . Average fruit weight in 'Reiyou' was larger than that in 'Levanzo'; however, a significant difference in fruit weight was observed between proximal and distal fruit on the same truss in 'Reiyou' (data not shown).…”

“…This means that the sink activity of all fruits on the same truss was equal, and abundant photosynthate was efficiently and uniformly translocated to all fruits, due to the simultaneous enlargement of the fruits on the same truss. However, it is necessary to conduct a more detailed experiment to elucidate the difference in fruit growth between two cultivars because Matsuda et al (2011b) reported that fruit growth rate were changed with environmental factor such as CO 2 concentration.…”

“…Matsuda et al (2011a) investigated the effects of altered source/sink ratio following leaf or fruit pruning on leaf photosynthetic characteristics and whole plant growth in Japanese and Dutch cultivars. Matsuda et al (2011b) found that fruit growth was limited by sink strength in Japanese and Dutch tomato cultivars under enhanced source conditions, and reported that the Japanese cultivar 'Momotaro York' had a lower sink strength relative to source strength than did the Dutch cultivar 'Dundee'. However, these investigations were conducted under a high-wire training system and constant planting density in a Dutch-style greenhouse.…”

“…Now, we must attempt to improve the yield by using current Japanese cultivars. To determine causes of the low yield of Japanese tomatoes, researchers compared physiological traits such as photosynthetic rate and dry matter production between Dutch and Japanese cultivars (Higashide and Heuvelink, 2009;Matsuda et al, 2011Matsuda et al, , 2013Saito et al, 2011). To improve the yield of Japanese cultivars, Higashide et al (2014) reported that the yield of 'Momotaro York' was increased by grafting onto a Dutch rootstock, 'Maxifort', and that this increase resulted from the improvement of LUE.…”

To investigate the mechanism of yield increase by elevated carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and fogging in Japanese tomato cultivars (Solanum lycopersicum), total above-ground dry matter (TDM), fraction of dry matter distribution to fruit (FDF), and photosynthetic characteristics were measured in 3 Japanese cultivars grown in elevated CO 2 with fogging and ambient CO 2 without fogging. Fresh fruit yield and TDM were improved by the elevated CO 2 and fogging in the 3 Japanese cultivars. Light use efficiency (LUE) was also increased by the elevated CO 2 and fogging. No significant decrease in FDF was observed by the elevated CO 2 and fogging in 2 Japanese cultivars, 'Asabiyori 10' and 'Junkei Aichi Fast'. Thus, the increase in TDM by higher LUE contributed directly to the yield increase in these 2 cultivars. However, FDF in 'Momotaro York' was decreased significantly by the elevated CO 2 and fogging. Thereby, the yield increase by the elevated CO 2 and fogging was diminished in 'Momotaro York' in spite of the increase in TDM. The number of trusses having immature fruit in 'Momotaro York' under elevated CO 2 and fogging was significantly higher than those of the others, although no increase in the number of trusses having immature fruit was observed in the other 2 cultivars. Although vegetative growth characteristics such as leaf area, LAI, and fresh and dry weights of leaves and stem were increased by the elevated CO 2 and fogging, no negative effects such as a change in lightextinction coefficient and a decrease in maximum photosynthetic rate were observed. The elevated CO 2 and fogging increased the number of harvested fruit but decreased weight per fruit, namely, fruit size, in the 3 cultivars.
