“…The present paper has dealt mainly with rootstock effects on pome and stone fruits, with which the most progress has been made; but it should not be forgotten that rootstock effects have been used in many other crops (11). Rootstock effects are of great importance in citrus (115,54,55,56,121 and many others), and are also used, for example, in vines (116), roses (117), walnuts (118), mango (119), tung (120), and many others.…”

The composite plant formed by grafting a scion on a rootstock provides a unit of considerable scientific interest and commercial importance. The combination of two plants of different genetic constitution, thus having different inherent characters, affords new opportunities of studying these characters, and of making wider use of them.One of the first general reviews of rootstock/scion relations was that of Hatton, in 1930 (1). This included much of his own pioneer work, which led to a great expansion of interest in clonal rootstocks (2, 3). Tukey & Brase (4) included a useful review in a paper on the influence of scions and inter stocks. Hilkenbaumer (5) reviewed apple, pear, and plum rootstock results in Germany in 1953, and Hoblyn (6) gave a brief practical summary of results in England up to 1950. Tubbs (7) in a general review of work at East Mailing, illustrated the extensive range of rootstock effects with a list of 29 scion characters found to be influenced by the rootstock. Reviews on special as pects of the subject include those of Argles (8) on stock/scion incom patibility, and Graves (9) and Katyal (10) on double working; Roberts (11), writing on "Theoretical aspects of graftage," provided a comprehensive catalogue of 479 references with concise comments on the papers cited. The present paper is not intended to cover as wide a range, but will deal mainly with the part played by different components of the composite tree, incom patibility, viruses and certain other aspects, concluding with a discussion of some possible mechanisms of rootstock effect.At the outset, it must be said that the discovery of latent viruses in some clonal rootstocks and scion varieties has introduced a new factor of uncer tainty into some past rootstock trials. Varying proportions of certain clones, particularly M.lX and M.I, were found to be infected with rubbery wood virus, which has been shown to have a dwarfing effect [Posnette & Cropley (12,13); LuckwiII (14)]. Further work by Posnette & Cropley with apple mosaic (15), cherry (16), and pear (17) viruses has shown marked dwarfing effects, both with and without leaf symptoms.I t is reassuring, however, that tests of each tree in the classical Malling apple rootstock trials have shown that the original clones were evidently not infected with rubbery wood or mosaic and that the original conclusions on rootstock vigour remain valid (18).In discussing other papers it can only be assumed that the rootstock results are not clouded by virus infection; but the importance of using only virus-tested material in future is evident.

“…Simons (1987) reviewed graft incompatibility only as it related to dwarfing rootstocks of fruit trees. The theoretical and botanical aspects of grafting were reviewed by Roberts (1949). The excellent textbooks on grafting and propagation by Garner (1979) and Hartmann et al (1990) devote limited attention to graft incompatibility.…”

“…The cultivation of peaches is said to date back to the time of Confucius in the fifth century before the Christian era and in the Ritual in the tenth century before Christ (De Candolle, 1895). Roberts (1949) reported that peach varieties were mentioned in Chinese literature as early as 1560 B. C. This would imply that these people had knowledge of clonal propagation tech niques such as layerage or graftage. It would appear logical that some realization of stock-scion incompatibility was known at that time.…”

“…Other workers have shown that in the set ting of grafts, actual contact of cambium layers is not es sential but rather the contact of cambium derived callus is important. Roberts (1949) is only one of the numerous writers who contends that there is no way of determining, in advance, what stocks and scions will be compatible or incompatible or in what degree any of the antagonisms will be expressed. He further states that incompatibility is the major problem in grafting.…”
