IntroductionGrafting is widely used in watermelon production to control soil-borne diseases such as Fusarium wilt (Yetisir and Sari 2003;Davis et al. 2008), to increase yield (Lee 1994;Oda 1995;Lee and Oda 2003), and to promote the mineral nutrition uptake (Pulgar et al. 2000), but the objectives of grafting have increased significantly over the years. For instance, grafting has been used to improve resistance against low (Bulder et al. 1990) and high (Rivero et al. 2003) temperatures, to improve resistance against iron chlorosis in calcareous soils (Romero et al. 1997), to improve the salinity tolerance of plants (Yetisir and Uygur 2010), to enhance nutrient absorption (Ruiz et al. 1997), and to improve water use (Cohen and Naor 2002). Bottle gourds have also been used routinely as a source of rootstock for watermelons and other cucurbit crops in some Asian and European countries (Lee and Oda 2003). Lagenaria siceraria is one of the gourd species used as rootstock for watermelon and it shows a high compatibility rate with watermelon (Lee 1994;Oda 1995;Yetisir and Sari 2003). Turkey has a rich genetic diversity of L. siceraria. In a previous study, 210 L. siceraria genotypes from ecologically different regions of Turkey were collected and evaluated for rootstock potential, and it was found that Turkish L. siceraria germplasm has powerful rootstock potential for watermelon against Fusarium wilt and is a good resource for rootstock breeding programs (Yetişir et al. 2007). We previously demonstrated that grafted watermelon plants on bottle gourd rootstocks had an increase in total yield and plant growth parameters as compared to the ungrafted control plants (Karaca et al. 2012). These rootstocks with vigorous root systems also showed superior tolerance to serious soil-borne diseases such as those caused by Fusarium (Yetışır et al. 2003). The rootstocks tested in this study also produced larger fruit with a thicker rind and darker fruit flesh color than the control plants ( Karaca et al. 2012).Watermelon quality is greatly affected by grafting (Yetisir and Sari 2003; Yetışır et al. 2003;Davis and Perkins-Veazie 2005). There are many conflicting reports on changes in fruit quality due to grafting. The differences in reported results may be due in part to different production environments, type of rootstock, interactions between specific rootstocks and scions, and harvest date (Davis et al. 2008). In some studies, grafted watermelon fruits had lower (

“…Initially it was used in Citrullus lanatus to limit the losses due to Fusarium wilt 4,5 and to improve the mineral nutrition of watermelon plants. 6 Although grafting is timeconsuming, and requires suitable genetic material and experience to master the technique, currently grafting is utilized in production of numerous vegetable crops for a wide spectrum of purposes; 7,8 initially the technique was used to provide resistance against biotic and abiotic stress. 9 -15 Generally, watermelon cultivars are grafted onto squash (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne × Cucurbita moschata Duchesne) and onto bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria L.) rootstocks.…”

Fruit quality of mini‐watermelon as affected by grafting and irrigation regimes

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BACKGROUND: The Mediterranean region suffers water deficit that affects fruit yield and quality. Grafting improves crop tolerance to disease and drought, but the taste and quality of fruit may be negatively affected. The aim of the present work was to determine the quality parameters of mini-watermelon, ungrafted or grafted onto a squash hybrid rootstock, and grown under different irrigation regimes: 1.0, 0.75, and 0.5 of evapotranspiration (ET) rates.

“…However, the current applications of grafting involve virtually all fields of plant physiology. For example, grafted plants were used to induce resistance against low root temperatures (Bulder et al 1990), against iron chlorosis in calcareous soils (Romera et al 1991, Shi et al 1993), greater nutrient uptake (Bavaresco et al 1991, Ruiz et al 1996, increased synthesis of endogenous hormones (Proebsting et al 1992), greater growth and productivity of the aerial part (Hussein andSlack 1994, Ruiz andRomero 1999) and improved fruit quality (Autio 1991).…”

Non‐grafted tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Tmknvf2) and grafted tomato plants (L. esculentum L. cv. Tmknvf2 × L. esculentum L. cv. RX‐335) were grown for 30 days at three different temperatures (10°C, 25°C and 35°C). In the leaves of these plants, the enzymatic activities of SOD, GPX, CAT, APX, DHAR and GR were analysed, as were the concentrations of total H2O2, ascorbate and glutathione as well as foliar DW. Regardless of whether the plant was grafted or not, our results indicate that the thermal stress occurred mainly at 35°C, with the following effects: (1) high SOD activity; (2) H2O2 accumulation; (3) foliar‐biomass reduction; (4) low GPX, CAT, APX, DHAR and GR activities; and (5) high concentrations of ascorbate and glutathione. In addition, our data show these effects to be much weaker in grafted than in non‐grafted plants, directly reflected in greater biomass production. Therefore, the use of grafted plants under excessively high temperatures may offer an advantage over non‐grafted plants in terms of resistance against thermal shock.
