“…when diploid watermelons were grafted onto five different rootstocks consisting of L. siceraria or C. ficifolia. However, Yamasaki et al [34] reported a significant increase in fruit firmness when watermelon scion was grafted onto C. maxima x C. moschata (3.17 N) but not when grafted onto L. siceraria (2.79 N). Yetisir et al [16] measured a significant increase in fruit firmness when 'Crimson Tide' watermelon (diploid) was grafted onto C. moschata (12.63 N) or C. maxima (11.62 N) as compared to the non-grafted control (6.85 N).…”

“…Yetisir and Sari [19] also noted that there is a rootstock effect on TSS in the fruit. Although some researchers [10,16,34,37] have reported a significant reduction in TSS in fruit of grafted watermelon, the decrease is rather small and the TSS levels are generally above 10%, which is the value required to achieve #1 grade by the United States Standards for Grades of Watermelons [38]. Liu et al [15] reported no difference in taste or fruit maturity when grafting watermelon onto L. siceraria or C. ficifolia.…”

“…Liu et al [15] reported no difference in taste or fruit maturity when grafting watermelon onto L. siceraria or C. ficifolia. Yamasaki et al [34] noted inferior fruit flavor when watermelon was grafted onto C. maxima x C. moschata but not L. siceraria. Although no taste panel was used in the present study, anecdotal responses by consumer tasting rated the fruit flavor of grafted watermelon equal to or superior to non-grafted watermelon (data not presented).…”

Grafting watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) to control Fusarium wilt has been practiced in Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East for decades. Until recently, grafting watermelon has not been practiced in the United States due to labor costs and land availability. There is some disagreement in the literature as to the effects that grafting has on watermelon fruit quality. This study was designed to determine the effects of grafted watermelon on fruit firmness, lycopene content, and total soluble solids (TSS) using five different rootstocks. When using Cucurbita ficifolia or Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata hybrid as the rootstock, watermelon fruit consistently had higher fruit firmness values. Other C. maxima x C. moschata hybrids or Lagenaria siceraria rootstocks generally produced lower or more varied fruit firmness values. Grafting increased fruit firmness by as much as 25% in some cases, but field and year effects were observed. In addition, grafting had no effect on lycopene content or TSS.Furthermore, no off-flavors were detected in fruit from grafted plants, but there was a 5-to 7 day delay in fruit maturity compared to their non-grafted counterpart. Although environment can have a major influence on fruit quality attributes, rootstock selection may be equally important in achieving the desired outcome.Keywords: Citrullus lanatus, Cucurbita spp., Lagenaria sp., grafting, lycopene, fruit firmness, total soluble solids.Mention of a trademark, proprietary product, or vendor does not constitute a guarantee or warranty of the product by the USDA and does not imply its approval to the exclusion of other products of vendors that may also be suitable.

“…In previous grafting experiments, the root weight of the rootstock was unaffected by the cultivar of the scion (Iwama et al, 1995). It was also reported that the exudation rate in watermelon grafted onto the rootstock of pumpkin that had a high exudation rate, was higher than that in the plants with a watermelon rootstock, indicating that the exudation rate was unaffected by cultivar of the scion (Yamasaki et al, 1994). From the results in this study, we thought that it was possible to assess the factors by which rootstock cultivar effects the senescence of scion.…”

RESUMOEstudaram-se os efeitos da aplicação de CO 2 , via água de irrigação, e da enxertia do tomateiro no transporte de 15 N e na produção do tomateiro. Os tratamentos foram arranjados em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso no esquema fatorial 2 x 2 (com e sem CO 2 na água de irrigação e tomateiro enxertado e pé-franco). A injeção do CO 2 na água iniciou-se aos 34 dias após o transplante das mudas (DAT) e se prolongou em todas as irrigações. A aplicação do sulfato de amônio com abundância em átomos de 15 N de 3,13% nas plantas destinadas à análise foi feita aos 45 DAT quando as plantas estavam em plena frutificação. Após 14 dias da aplicação do fertilizante ( 15 N) as plantas foram colhidas, lavadas, secadas e enviadas ao laboratório, para análise do 15 N nos seus tecidos. Os resultados demonstraram que o CO 2 e a enxertia não alteraram o transporte de 15 N na planta. A produção de frutos comerciais foi maior quando se aplicou CO 2 na água. Palavras-chave:Lycopersicon esculentum Mill, dióxido de carbono, cultivo protegido Grafting and carbonated irrigation water in transport of 15 N and in the tomato production ABSTRACTThe effects of CO 2 application through irrigation water, and of grafting in transport of 15 N and in the tomato production, were studied. These treatments were arranged in a 2 x 2 factorial scheme (with and without CO 2 in irrigation water and grafted and non-grafted tomato), in a completely randomized design, with four replications. The injection of CO 2 into the water began at 34 days after transplant of seedlings (DAT) and continued for all irrigations. The application of the sulfate of ammonium with abundance in atoms of 15 N of 3.13% in plants destined to analysis was done at 45 DAT when the plants were in the middle of fructification. After 14 days of fertilizer ( 15 N) application the plants were harvested, washed, dried and sent for analysis of 15 N in plant tissue. The results demonstrated that CO 2 and the grafting did not alter the transport of 15 N in the plant. The production of commercial fruits was larger when CO 2 was applied in water.
