“…Fruit size is the most prominent change following grafting of watermelon onto rootstocks. Contrarily to the fruit size, the fruit shape index defined by the ratio of equatorial and longitudinal lengths was unaffected or minimal by grafting combinations on watermelon grown under low tunnel and in open field conditions (Davis & Perkins-Veazie, 2005;Alan et al, 2007;Rouphael et al, 2010;Kyriacou et al, 2017). Dur findings of an increase in the fruit shape index agree with a later report of Turhan et al (2012).…”

“…Besides disease resistance and tolerance to low/high soil temperatures, watermelon rootstocks, especially those of C. maxima × C. moschata hybrids can enhance plant vigor, growth, and yield since they are much more vigorous than the bottle gourd rootstock (Alan et al, 2007;King et al, 2010); however, reports on fruit quality such as rind thickness, color, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, and sugar are rather conflicting being increasing, decreasing or remaining unaffected (Miguel et al, 2004;Davis et al, 2008a;Rouphael et al, 2010;Fallik & Ilic, 2014;Kyriacou et al, 2017).…”

“…Recommendations of consultants, advisors of seed and seedling companies, and experienced growers can be effective in deciding for a commercial rootstock trademark. The main selection criterion in deciding for a rootstock appears to be disease-resistance and vigorous plant growth, while rootstock/scion combination and graft affinity is rather neglected (Rouphael et al, 2010).…”

“…These characteristics are associated with metabolism and respiration rate during ripening, in which living cells from harvested fruits use oxygen from its own reserves and from the environment, releasing ethylene and carbon dioxide (ROUPhAEL et al, 2010;NAYIK AND MUZAFFAR, 2014). Although the changes that take place during ripening are important, uncontrolled ripening process can lead to rapid degradation in quality, which that contributes to postharvest losses.…”

Influence of 1-Methylcyclopropene on the Biochemical Response and Ripening of ‘Solo’ Papayas

abstract-The market demand for tropical fruits has been growing steadily over the past two decades and global papaya production has grown significantly over the last few years. This sector, however, suffers greatly from postharvest losses due to reduced quantity and quality of fruits between harvest and consumption. The use of ethylene inhibitors after harvest could improve the final quality of the fruit to satisfy the consumer and also minimize waste. The physiological and biochemical responses of 'Solo' papayas treated with the ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to extend storage shelf life and maintain quality during long-term storage are deeply discussed in this study. Papaya fruits arrived at Cranfield University (CU) and received a 24 h 1-MCP, being stored at 20 ºC for 10 days. The ethylene inhibitor 1-MCP application significantly delayed 'Solo' papaya ripeness on fruit storage by reducing respiration rate and ethylene production. There was a delay from 7 days in fruit firmness loss and the retention of green peel colour was increased. Inhibition of ethylene perception by 1-MCP did not prevent the accumulation of sugars and the mean values were similar and higher than those found for control fruits, which are possibly due to the lower reaction speed, leading to a higher accumulation. Index terms:Carica papaya L., fruit quality, fruit waste, 1-MCP, tropical fruits.InfluÊncIa do 1-metIlcIclopropeno sobre a resposta bIoQuÍmIca e amadurecImento de mamÕes 'solo' resumo-O mercado de frutos tropicais cresceu constantemente ao longo das duas últimas décadas e a produção mundial de mamão tem crescido significativamente nos últimos anos. No entanto, esse setor sofre muito com as perdas pós-colheita devido à reduzida quantidade e qualidade dos frutos entre a colheita e o consumo. A utilização de inibidores de etileno após a colheita poderia melhorar a qualidade final do fruto para satisfazer o consumidor e também minimizar o desperdício. As respostas fisiológicas e bioquímicas de mamões 'Solo' tratados com o inibidor de etileno 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP) para prolongar a vida útil e manter a qualidade durante o armazenamento a longo prazo são detalhadamente discutidas neste estudo. os frutos chegaram à Universidade de Cranfield (UC) e receberam tratamento com 1-MCP por 24 h, sendo armazenados a 20 ºC durante 10 dias. A aplicação do inibidor de etileno 1-MCP retardou significativamente o amadurecimento de mamões 'Solo' no armazenamento dos frutos, reduzindo a taxa de respiração e a produção de etileno. Houve um atraso de 7 dias na perda de firmeza e a retenção da cor verde da casca dos frutos foi aumentada. A inibição da percepção de etileno pelo 1-MCP não impediu o acúmulo de açúcares e os valores médios foram semelhantes e superiores aos encontrados para as frutas do tratamento controle, que são possivelmente devido à menor velocidade de reação, levando a um maior acúmulo. termos para indexação:Carica papaya L., qualidade, desperdício, 1-MCP, frutos tropicais.ISSn 0100-2945 http://dx

“…Grafted tomatoes are used to reduce susceptibility against pest and root and wilt diseases and to increase yield (Louws et al, 2010;Rouphael et al, 2010). However, resistance may be broken down under high pathogen population pressure and new races of the pathogen may evolve on rootstocks.…”

The management of soil-borne pathogens is nowadays complicated by the increasing restrictions in the usage of fumigants. Several factors need to be considered for a sustainable use of this practice such as the susceptibility of rootstocks against soil-borne pathogens which is age-dependent and the incomplete resistance of some of the rootstocks to one or more pathogens. There is an evidence of a pathogenic variation among some isolates of Phytophthora spp. on solanaceous crops and on rootstocks and the development of new diseases or the re-emergence of already known pathogens such as Colletotrichum coccodes after the phase out of methyl bromide. The critical aspects of grafting for soil-borne pathogens management in Italy are discussed.Keywords: solanaceaous crops, Phytophthora nicotianae, Phytophthora capsici, Colletotrichum coccodes 1.IntroductionIn Italy, 59 million vegetable plants, generally grown under greenhouse, are grafted (Morra and Billotto, 2010). In Piedmont (northern Italy) grafted plants are mostly used in tomato cropping system but is becoming more popular also in the case of bell pepper and, in some areas, on melon.Grafted tomatoes are used to reduce susceptibility against pest and root and wilt diseases and to increase yield (Louws et al., 2010;Rouphael et al., 2010). However, resistance may be broken down under high pathogen population pressure and new races of the pathogen may evolve on rootstocks. Recently, some emerging diseases on plants grafted on rootstocks have been recorded in Italy. Verticillium wilt incited by Verticillium dahliae was consistently observed on eggplant grafted on Solanum torvum (Garibaldi et al. 2005), while Colletotrichum coccodes attacks were observed on grafted tomato plants grown in several farms after repeated cropping cycles of tomato (Minuto et al. 2008). This last pathogen can infect several cultivated species, including pepper, potato, eggplant, lettuce, chrysanthemum and some species of Cucurbitaceae and Brassicaceae (Dillard, 1992;Last et al., 1966). Among Phytophthora group, both P. nicotianae and P. capsici can affect tomato (Erwin and Ribeiro, 1996). Rootstocks belonging to interspecific hybrids of Solanum lycopersicum x S. hirsutum (cvs. Beaufort, He Man) and to S. lycopersicum (cv. Energy) were Due to an increased request of grafted plants, experimental activities have been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of grafting on resistant rootstock against emerging soilborne diseases of tomato. The rootstocks used in this study are considered resistant to many other soil-borne diseases, but their tolerance to P. nicotianae, P. capsici and C. coccodes is not known. 2.Materials and methods Experimental layout.The first set of trials was carried out in 2010 under growth chamber conditions at Agroinnova (Univesity of Torino) to test the susceptibility of several tomato rootstocks to Phytophthora nicotianae and P. capsici under artificial inoculation conditions. The second set of trials was carried out in 2010 in a plastic tunnel at Boves (Cuneo)...
