Micrografting for fruit crop improvement

Abstract: Micrografting is an in vitro grafting technique which involves the placement of a meristem or shoot tip explant onto a decapitated rootstock that has been grown aseptically from seed or micropropagated cultures. Following early experiments of micrografting in ivy and chrysanthemum, the technique has been used in woody species, especially fruit trees. Major work was carried out in different Citrus species for the elimination of various viral diseases. In vitro micrografting has been used for improvement and mul… Show more

“…The micrografting technique improved the viability of the explant, although the result was not statistically significant. Likewise, the pretreatment of the scion allowed to select the viable apex and helped their development, which greatly improved the micrografting success especially when very small sized shoot apices were used (Hussain et al 2014). In our study, pre-treatment of scion by immersion in 1.5 mg L -1 BAP improved the viability of the explant, although the result was not statistically significant.…”

“…On the other hand, several techniques have been developed to hold grafts together until fusion takes place. Those techniques include translucent silicon tubing, elastic strip, filter paper bridge, and glass tubing, nylon bands, aluminum foil tubes, dual layer apparatus of aluminum foil and absorbent paper (Hussain et al 2014). In our study, a new technique, which uses copper wires, was tested.…”
