“…Specifically, D. tabescens is the predominant pathogen in the southeastern US. A. solidipes and A. mellea are considered to be the main causes of ARR in California, Michigan, and other northwestern states of the US, while A. gallica and A. mexicana are widely distributed in Mexico (Elias-Roman et al 2019). Interestingly, these species have been found to vary in their virulence.…”

Peach is a popular and important tree fruit widely produced in the world, and the production of high-quality peach fruit does require management of pests and diseases. In this review, major peach diseases from China, Spain, and USA are described in detail for the benefit of producers, consultants, researchers, and other interested parties. Minor diseases of concern in these countries are also described. Current progress on pathogen resistance to major chemical classes of fungicides as well as current resistance management practices are discussed. Specific cultural practices applied in China, Spain, and USA are also described to provide an overview of peach disease management. A ‘Future Outlook’ section is included at the end of this review to highlight the challenges and opportunities for disease management in the future.

“…Unfortunately, 'Myrolaban' plum has compatibility problems with peaches, especially in sandy soils, similar to most Florida soils. Elias-Roman et al [37] found that 'Mondragon' rootstock (P. salicina) has a high resistance to A. mexicana, with the lowest infected roots incidence and no infection by A. mellea under greenhouse conditions. Oak root rot is difficult to control, since the fungus can colonize the remaining root pieces after removing the infected trees from the orchard [30].…”

Rootstocks for Commercial Peach Production in the Southeastern United States: Current Research, Challenges, and Opportunities

et al. 2022

The Southeastern United States is facing agriculture crises, such as the ongoing epidemic of citrus greening disease that has forced the region to begin looking into alternative crops. Some of these belong to the Rosaceae genus Prunus, which encompasses many economically important species such as peaches, almonds, cherries, plums, and more. Peach production in Florida has become a very promising alternative to citrus; however, there are different limitations and challenges that peach production faces in this region. Differing climates coupled with edaphic challenges such as salinity, alkalinity, and waterlogging have been the focus of much of the research into the viability of peach production in the region. Using the genetic diversity of the Prunus genus is crucial to the success of peach as an alternative crop, due to the nature of its propagation on rootstocks. The development of new rootstock cultivars has been—and continues to be—the most efficient way not only to deal with the variety of problems associated with the climate and soil mentioned above but also to mitigate the effects of pests and diseases. The vegetative propagation of stone fruit rootstocks also has distinct advantages that seed propagation cannot achieve, including tree performance uniformity and the multiplication of interspecific hybrids. Tools used to select the best-performing rootstocks for the area such as the root system architecture (RSA) analysis are fundamental to this development process to ensure that the rootstock cultivars with the traits needed for success in the region are selected. This narrative review lays out all the challenges facing southeastern peach production in detail, discussing the research into these challenges and highlighting the tools that are most crucial to the success of peach production in the region to create a resource for researchers, growers, and breeders to more easily access this information.

“…Interstock has been applied in persimmons [ 3 ], lemons [ 2 ], peaches [ 4 ], apples [ 5 ], and other fruit trees to regulate tree size [ 4 ], improve fruit yield and quality, and delay tree aging [ 2 ]. Rational use of a combination of citrus rootstocks and interstocks can enhance disease resistance [ 6 , 7 ], regulate production period [ 8 ] and tree dwarfing [ 5 ], and improve citrus fruit quality [ 9 , 10 ]. Initially, interstocks were studied as tools to overcome the interspecific incompatibility between rootstocks and scions [ 11 ].…”

Interstock is an important agronomic technique for regulating plant growth and fruit quality, and overcoming the incompatibility between rootstocks and scions; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, the effects and regulatory mechanisms of tangor grafting, with and without interstocks, on the growth and development of scions were analyzed by combining morphology, physiology, anatomy and transcriptomics. Morphological and physiological analyses showed that interstocks (‘Aiyuan 38’ and ‘Daya’) significantly improved the growth of seedlings, effectively enhanced the foliar accumulation of chlorophyll and carotenoids, and increased the thickness of leaf tissues. Using ‘Aiyuan 38’ as the interstock, photosynthetic efficiency and starch content of citrus seedlings improved. Transcriptomics showed that genes related to photosynthesis and photosynthetic antenna proteins were upregulated in interstock-treated seedlings, with significant upregulation of photosystem PSI- and PSII-related genes. In addition, multiple key genes may be involved in plant hormone signaling, starch and sucrose metabolism, and transcriptional regulation. Taken together, these findings provide novel insights into the role of interstocks in regulating and contributing to the growth and development of grafted seedlings, and will further define and deploy candidate genes to explore the mechanisms of rootstock-interstock-scion interactions.
