“…Most of the 20 traits described for the Geneva ® series by Cummins and Aldwinckle (1983b) fully satisfy the Brazilian needs. The emphasis is on scion vigor control, on high capacity to induce precocity of bearing and ability to induce trees for high and constant yields of good fruit quality.…”

“…For the South Hemisphere, woolly apple aphid seems to be a limiting pest (Webster et al 2000). However, the works on apple rootstocks breeding are mainly concentrated in the North Hemisphere (Cummins and Aldwinckle 1983b), where this pest is not important.…”

“…It was possible thanks to a genetic potential of apple that had been successfully utilised by numerous apple rootstock breeders (Cummins, Aldwinckle 1983;Zagaja et al 1988;Webster, Tobutt 1994;Jakubowski, Zagaja 2000). Nevertheless, the current trend in Poland as well as in the whole Europe, is toward growing dwarf apple trees exclusively on the M 9 rootstock, in its diff erent clones (Wertheim 1998).…”

“…Attempts undertaken for replacements of M 9, as well as of M 26, M 7, or MM 106, resulted in numerous new clones (Cummins, Aldwinckle 1983;Webster, Tobutt 1994). At the Institute of Horticulture (former Institute of Pomology and Floriculture) in Skierniewice, Poland, a large number of rootstocks named as the P-series (Jakubowski, Zagaja 2000) was obtained.…”

Piestrzeniewicz C., Sadowski A., Dziuban R., Odziemkowski S., Wrona D., 2013. Results of ten-year rootstock testing with apple cultivar Rubin on fertile soil. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 40: 31-36.Th e experiment was carried out on a fertile alluvial soil at Warsaw-Wilanów, Central Poland, in years 2001-2010. Nineteen very dwarfi ng and dwarfi ng rootstocks were tested for vigorous apple cultivar Rubin. Ten-year-old trees were the largest on M 9 EMLA and P 62, smaller on Arm 18, and then on B 491, Unima and B 146. Even smaller were the trees on M 27, P 63 and P 64, and the smallest those on PJ 629. Th e highest cumulative yield (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010) per tree was on P 66, Arm 18, M 9 EMLA, B 491 and P 16, lower on P 64, P 22, P 59, M 27, PB-4 and J-TE-G, and the lowest on PJ 629. Trees on P 59, PJ 629, PB-4, No. 280, J-TE-G, P 63, P 66, P 22, No. 387 and P 64 showed higher yield effi ciency than those on M 9 EMLA or P 62. Th e mean fruit mass from trees on P 63, M 27, No. 387, Arm 18, P 62, P 64, No. 280, B 491, P 16, Unima and M 9 EMLA was larger than from trees on PJ 629. Trees on P 63, B 491, P 16, P 66, and P 65 produced higher cumulative yield per ha than trees on PB-4, J-TE-G or PJ 629.

“…The propagation of these materials is made through the use of plant propagules (cuttings and/or buds) rooted or grafted directly on adult plants or rootstocks. In cacao, the rootstock must include characteristics such as vigor, resistance or tolerance to root diseases and same physiological age of the graft (Bir et al, 2010), premises that are well accepted for crops as diverse as apples (Cummins and Aldwinckle, 1983) and grapes (Silva et al, 2007) According Martinez-Ballesta et al (2010), the vascular connection at the interface rootstock/scion determines the efficiency of water and nutrients translocation, affecting other physiological characteristics. Thus, the incompatibility between scion and rootstock can induce excessive growth or poor canopy, which may lead to decreased water and nutrients flow causing wilting and plant death (Davis et al, 2008).…”
