“…Several studies have shown the influence of the scion × rootstock combination on cherry fruit quality (Schmitt et al, 1989 ; Facteau et al, 1996 ; Shackel et al, 1997 ; Szot and Meland, 2001 ; Whiting et al, 2005 ). Fruit firmness varies with scion x-rootstock combination.…”

Sweet cherries are attractive fruits due to their taste, color, nutritional value, and beneficial health effects. Sweet cherry is a highly perishable fruit and all quality attributes and the level of health promoting compounds are affected by growth conditions, picking, packing, transport, and storage. During production, the correct combination of scion × rootstock will produce fruits with higher firmness, weight, sugars, vitamins, and phenolic compounds that boost the fruit antioxidant activity. Orchard management, such as applying drip irrigation and summer pruning, will increase fruit sugar levels and total phenolic content, while application of growth regulators can result in improved storability, increased red coloring, increased fruit size, and reduced cracking. Salicylic acid, oxalic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, and methyl salicylate are promising growth regulators as they also increase total phenolics, anthocyanins, and induce higher activity of antioxidant enzymes. These growth regulators are now also applied as fruit coatings that improve shelf-life with higher antioxidant enzyme activities and total phenolics. Optimizing storage and transport conditions, such as hydro cooling with added CaCl2, chain temperature and relative humidity control, are crucial for slowing down decay of quality attributes and increasing the antioxidant capacity. Application of controlled atmosphere during storage is successful in delaying quality attributes, but lowers ascorbic acid levels. The combination of low temperature storage in combination with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is successful in reducing the incidence of fruit decay, while preserving taste attributes and stem color with a higher antioxidant capacity. A new trend in MAP is the use of biodegradable films such as micro-perforated polylactic acid film that combine significant retention of quality attributes, high consumer acceptability, and a reduced environmental footprint. Another trend is to replace MAP with fruit edible coatings. Edible coatings, such as various lipid composite coatings, have advantages in retaining quality attributes and increasing the antioxidant activity (chitosan) and are regarded as approved food additives, although studies regarding consumer acceptance are needed. The recent publication of the sweet cherry genome will likely increase the identification of more candidate genes involved in growing and maintaining health related compounds and quality attributes.

“…It has been demonstrated that trees grafted on invigorating rootstocks have consistently presented higher Ψ stem than trees grafted on dwarfing rootstocks as reported for cherry [22,23], peach [3,18] and apple [24]. This phenomenon is likely to be related to the lower water absorption capability of the root system of dwarfing rootstocks to fulfill the transpiration demand of the canopy.…”

-Introduction. Recent management trends in almond orchards have focused on intensification and highdensity plantings using Prunus rootstock cultivars with different vigor traits. This investigation aims to prospect precocious detection of adequate scion-rootstock combination for almond. Materials and methods. Five almond cultivars ('Tuono', 'Lauranne', 'Soleta', 'Belona' and 'Guara') grafted on three peach and plum based rootstocks of different degrees of vigor ('Garnem', were trained in super high-density planting in an experimental orchard. Tree vigor, tree water status, leaf chlorophyll content and quantum yield of photosynthesis system II (PSII) were monitored over two budding seasons. Results and discussion. 'Garnem' and 'Rootpac-40' were respectively the most and the medium vigorous rootstocks and induced the best tree water status, chlorophyll content and quantum yield of PSII for the tested almond cultivars. Scions grafted on 'Garnem' had the highest values of trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA), and almond scions were higher on 'Garnem', intermediate on 'Rootpac-40' and lower on 'Rootpac-20'. Scions grafted on 'Rootpac-20' seemed to be the most dwarf phenotype. Moreover, 'Rootpac-20' performed the lowest values of stem water potential and showed various visual symptoms of chlorosis. Conclusion. Overall, 'Rootpac-40' exhibited a medium capacity to control tree vigor and well adapted to Mediterranean soil conditions.

Introduction. Les tendances récentes de gestion des vergers d'amandiers ont été à l'intensification et aux plantations de forte densité utilisant des cultivars de Prunus de différent type de vigueur comme porte-greffes. Cette étude vise à détecter de façon précoce les meilleures combinaisons scion-porte-greffe chez l'amandier. Matériel et méthodes. Cinq cultivars d'amandier ('Tuono', 'Lauranne', 'Soleta', 'Belona' et 'Guara') greffés sur trois porte-greffes à base de pêcher ou de prunier de différents niveaux de vigueur ('Garnem', 'Rootpac-40' et 'Rootpac-20') ont été implantés dans un verger expérimental de super haute densité. La vigueur des arbres, leur état hydrique, le contenu en chlorophylle des feuilles et le rendement quantique du PSII ont été suivis pendant deux saisons de croissance. Résultats et discussion. 'Garnem' et 'Rootpac-40' ont été respectivement le porte-greffe le plus vigoureux et intermédiaire qui ont induit le meilleur état hydrique de l'arbre, la meilleure teneur en chlorophylle et le meilleur rendement quantique du PSII pour des cultivars d'amandier testés. Les scions greffés sur 'Garnem' avaient les plus hautes valeurs de section transversale du tronc (STT), et la croissance des scions d'amandier a été plus élevée sur 'Garnem', intermédiaire sur 'Rootpac-40' et faible sur 'Rootpac-20'.

“…Selection of an appropriate graft combination is crucial for the production of deciduous orchard species, because the scion-rootstock interaction influences water relations, leaf gas exchange, mineral uptake, tree vigor, blossoming, timing of fruit set, fruit quality, and yield efficiency (Schmitt et al 1989;Nielsen and Kappel, 1996;Gonçalves et al, 2003). In grafted trees, the control of plant size is mainly exerted through the rootstock.…”
