“…According to Rouphael et al ., modification of hormone status and water and nutrient uptake in grafted vegetables by specific rootstocks may lead to changes in cellular morphology, cell turgor, and cell‐wall characteristics, which, in turn, affect fruit firmness. Other reports corroborate these findings, although loss of firmness seems to be the predominant effect . Thus, fruits of the cultivars ‘Classy’ and ‘ASVEG10’, obtained from plants grafted onto ‘Brigeor’ or ‘Maxifort’ and grown under potassium deficiency, but also fruits from plants grafted onto eggplant rootstock, were less firm with higher deformation than fruits from self‐grafted tomatoes .…”

“…This observation emphasizes that, despite higher sugar content, ungrafted tomatoes might not exhibit a much sweeter taste due to the fact that, in grafted tomatoes, the content of fructose – a sugar with higher sweetness index (140) – decreases less than glucose – the sugar with a lower sweetness index (70) – resulting in a higher fructose / glucose ratio. It has been reported that the decline in sugars resulting from grafting – around 16% – does not exceed the range proposed for consumer acceptability.…”

“…Other reports corroborate these findings, although loss of firmness seems to be the predominant effect. 23 Thus, fruits of the cultivars 'Classy' and 'ASVEG10', obtained from plants grafted onto 'Brigeor' or 'Maxifort' and grown under potassium deficiency, but also fruits from plants grafted onto eggplant rootstock, were less firm with higher deformation than fruits from self-grafted tomatoes. 40 While Riga 23 did not find differences in fruit firmness between ungrafted and self-grafted 'Jack' tomatoes, Rahmatian et al 41 found significantly lower firmness in fruits from self-grafted compared to non-grafted 'Synda' tomatoes.…”

“…Grafting tomato often results in a significant increase in fruit weight and consequently in fruit diameter and size compared with ungrafted or self-grafted plants. 23 However, yield gain may also be attributed to an increase in the number of fruits rather than an increase in mean fruit weight. The effect of grafting on fruit weight and size depends on grafting combinations.…”

BACKGROUND The need to increase marketable tomato yields and decrease losses due to sunburn and disease during the summer motivates farmers to adopt additional cultural practices such as shading and grafting. To investigate complex interactions among grafting, shading, and tomato cultivar, grafted and ungrafted tomatoes (cv. 'Optima' F1 and cv. 'Big Beef' F1) were grown in the soil under net‐house cover, using pearl and red nets, and in unshaded conditions (open fields). Tomato fruit at the red stage of maturity were used for the analysis of quality traits, and total and marketable yields were recorded during the whole production season. RESULTS Grafting and shading in tomato production might be considered as cultivation practices to increase the marketable tomato yield. A decrease in sugar content increased the uptake of some micro elements (Fe and Zn) and macro elements (Ca). In some cases, firmer and less elastic skin may be expected due to grafting. Shading with pearl net might result in fruit with lower firmness and higher total, and particularly malic, acid content. CONCLUSION Shading with colored nets and grafting provide alternative strategies for achieving higher fruit yields and avoiding or reducing a decrease in tomato quality caused by environmental stresses such as excessive radiation and temperature in the summer cropping season. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…This result can be explained by the different species used as rootstocks whose sap composition interferes in greater intensity with the variables analyzed, compared to grafted plants of the same species. Riga (2015), evaluating the 'Jack' tomato grafted on nine different rootstocks, observed that the rootstocks evaluated did not affect the titratable acidity and pH of the fruit pulp, but influenced the total soluble solids content and TSS/TA ratio of the fruits, concluding that the evaluated rootstocks affected the fruit quality parameters compared to the non-grafted fruits, which did not occur with the evaluated rootstocks in thes work. Bertin et al (2000), evaluating the seasonal evolution of the quality of fresh tomato fruits grown in greenhouses under Mediterranean conditions, observed that the citric acid concentration decreased during the maturing of the plants, a result different from that found in the present study, but concluded that these interactions did not present a clear pattern.…”

The present work had as objective to evaluate the physical-chemical characteristics of commercial tomato fruits grafted on different solanaceous species. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in a randomized complete block design, with four blocks and six treatments, being the rootstocks: cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum); two cultivars of eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum), Long Light Green and Big Hill; jurubebão (Solanum lycocarpum) and jurubeba juna (Solanum stramonifolium), grafted with the tomato cultivar Santa Cruz Kada, and the control treatment was represented by the self-grafted tomato. Three consecutive harvests were spaced seven days after the production stabilization, and the characteristics fruits analyzed were Total Soluble Solids (ºBrix), pH, Titratable Acidity (percentage of citric acid) and TSS/TA. A statistically significant difference was found in the Tukey’s test at 5% probability in the titratable acidity, pH and fruit pulp flavor, among the evaluated treatments, while the soluble solids content did not differ between treatments in any of the harvests, but the values remained within the considered adequate for the tomato in natura in the current literature. There was a decrease in fruit flavor in all treatments, and fruit pH drop in all treatments with the exception of jurubebão, with the advancement of plant age, while the titratable acidity had an inverse behavior. The evaluated rootstocks can be used in the tomato crop, without prejudice to the quality of the tomato fruit produced.

Comparative proteomic analysis reveals the roots response to low root-zone temperature in Malus baccata

Soil temperature is known to affect plant growth and productivity. In this study we found that low root-zone temperature (LRT) inhibited the growth of apple (Malus baccata Borkh.) seedlings. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of LRT response, we performed comparative proteome analysis of the apple roots under LRT for 6 days. Total proteins of roots were extracted and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and 29 differentially accumulated proteins were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. They were involved in protein transport/processing/degradation (21%), glycometabolism (20%), response to stress (14%), oxidoreductase activity (14%), protein binding (7%), RNA metabolism (7%), amino acid biosynthesis (3%) and others (14%). The results revealed that LRT inhibited glycometabolism and RNA metabolism. The up-regulated proteins which were associated with oxidoreductase activity, protein metabolism and defense response, might be involved in protection mechanisms against LRT stress in the apple seedlings. Subsequently, 8 proteins were selected for the mRNA quantification analysis, and we found 6 of them were consistently regulated between protein and mRNA levels. In addition, the enzyme activities in ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle were determined, and APX activity was increased and GR activity was decreased under LRT, in consistent with the protein levels. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of M. baccata in responding to LRT.
