“…Metabolome analysis showed that the callery pear and “OHF51” interstocks had different metabolic profiles and that metabolite concentrations of both scion and root tissues were altered by different interstock. Yıldırım, Yıldırım, San, and Ercişli (2016) found a relationship between vigorous growth and phenolic content in apple leaves, in particular p‐hydroxybenzoic acid and p‐coumaric acid, which were higher in semivigorous rootstock than in dwarf rootstock. Alteration of chlorogenic acid, rutin, catechin, p‐coumaric acid and eriodictyol 7‐glucoside content were also found in sweet cherry scions because of different rootstocks (Usenik, Štampar, & Fajt, 2001).…”

The utilisation of interstocks or rootstocks to reduce tree size has long been used in orchards. In the present study, we characterised the dwarfing effect of “OHF51” (Pyrus communis “Old Home” × “Farmingdale”) when used as interstock compared with callery pear (Pyrus calleryana Decne.). Shorter trees, smaller canopy, smaller trunk diameter and lower height of the first branch were found in trees with “OHF51” as the interstock as compared to callery pear. Metabolome analysis showed that the interstock altered the metabolite profiles of both the scion and the rootstock. The number of identified differential metabolites in scions, interstocks and roots were 8, 39 and 12, respectively, with “OHF51” interstock as compared to the same positions with callery as the interstock. Flavonoids and phenolic acids/derivatives were most altered in concentration. The concentrations of flavonoids procyanidin B2 and procyanidin B3 were remarkably higher in both the scion shoots and the interstock because of “OHF51,” while the concentration of two monosucroses, D‐sorbitol and D‐mannitol, were drastically reduced in roots with “OHF51” interstock present. The reallocation of carbohydrates from shoot to root could be influenced by the interstock, which participates in the regulation of scion growth in the spring season. Flavonoids and phenolic acids/derivatives are understood to be key compounds involved in the reduction of scion growth.

“…Many researchers have argued the physiological mechanisms behind rootstock-induced size reduction in the past; however, the related phenomena have not been clarified. It has been reported that the dwarfing effect caused by rootstock may be linked with mineral transport [20], carbohydrates accumulation [21], phenolic contents [22], anatomical characteristics [23], and hormonal levels [24,25].…”

Dwarfing rootstocks are a valuable genetic resource for managing high-density plantations. The selection of the appropriate scion/rootstock combination is key to improving crop performance and sustainable production in a particular environment and specific training systems. ‘Shatangju’ mandarin scion cultivar grafted onto ‘Flying Dragon’ rootstock tends to be dwarfing and develops short stature plants. To obtain insight into potential mechanisms underlying rootstock-induced dwarfing effects, we conducted a rootstock trial to examine the influence of 11 different rootstocks based on their growth vigor, antioxidants, and hormonal levels of the scion cultivar. The phenotypic observations revealed that size reduction in the ‘Flying Dragon’ rootstock is due to lower node number, shorter internodal length, and a reduced trunk diameter of the scion compared with more vigorous rootstocks. Antioxidant analysis showed that ‘Shatangju’ mandarin grafted onto ’Flying Dragon’ and ‘Trifoliate Orange’ rootstock had significantly lower peroxidase (POD) activity than other tested rootstocks. The hormonal analysis indicated that there were markedly lower amounts of abscisic acid (ABA) in ‘Shatangju’ mandarin grafted with ‘Flying Dragon’ rootstock. In addition, trees grafted with ‘Sour Pummelo’ and ‘Flying Dragon’ depicted minimum amounts of gibberellins (GA24). Moreover, several metabolites associated with organic acids, flavonoids, amino acids, and alkaloids responded differently in plants grafted with ‘Flying Dragon’ (dwarfing) and ‘Shatang Mandarin’ (vigorous) rootstocks. This study concluded that ‘Flying Dragon’ rootstock with a strong dwarfing effect has been proposed to improve high-density cultivation methods. These findings will provide useful insights for future research associated with rootstock-mediated dwarfing mechanisms of citrus rootstocks.

“…Rootstocks significantly affect the growth properties of fruit trees, the onset of fruiting, the yield, and resistance to frost and drought, and determine the organoleptic properties and mineral composition of the fruit [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Rootstocks have also been found to determine the qualitative and quantitative composition of phenolic compounds in apples [ 20 , 29 ]. A properly selected cultivar and rootstock can program the fruit tree to produce more high-quality, antioxidant-rich, and high-nutrition-value fruit [ 30 , 31 ].…”

Apple cultivars are one of the main factors setting the composition of bioactive compounds in apples and the quality of the fruit. However, research has been providing increasing amounts of data on the influence of rootstocks on the variations in the composition of bioactive compounds in apples. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of rootstocks on the changes in the qualitative and quantitative composition of phenolic compounds and their antioxidant activity in vitro in apple flesh and peel. HPLC analyses of phenolic compounds in apple samples were performed. The rootstock–scion combination had a significant effect on the composition and antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds in apple samples. Depending on the rootstock, the total content of phenolic compounds in apple flesh of the ‘Galaval’ cultivar could vary by 2.9 times, and in the peel by up to 90%. The genotype of the rootstock resulted in the highest variation in total flavan-3-ol content in apple flesh—by as much as 4.3 times—while the total content of flavonols varied by 2.1 times. In apple peel, on the contrary, the greatest variation was recorded for the total flavonol content (by 4.4 times), and the total flavan-3-ol content varied the least (by 1.8 times). A proper match of a cultivar and a rootstock can program a fruit tree to grow larger amounts of higher-quality, antioxidant-rich, and high-nutrition-value fruit.
