“…The vegetative propagation method investigated in this study presents the best and the fastest genotype propagation method. Ljubojević et al (2013) proved that dwarf rootstocks are a promising material, due to their anatomical, morphological and physiological parameters. This propagation method provided sufficient number of rootstocks with special combining abilities, which are currently being tested in field grafting trials.…”

“…Every potential new rootstock has to be subjected to a long-term evaluation process that requires considerable space, time and knowledge, as well as extensive financial investment (Ljubojević et al, 2013). Selection success in breeding of vegetative rootstocks for sweet and sour cherry is dependent not only on genetic variability, but also on expediting propagation processes as a precondition for investigation of specific combining abilities between rootstock and scion (Bošnjaković et al, 2012b;Bošnjaković et al, 2013).…”

The paper presents a protocol for micropropagation of Prunus sp. rootstocks included in the sweet and sour cherry breeding program. Germplasm diversity for rootstock breeding derives from natural populations, where conditions and biological vectors for systematic infection with viral diseases are constantly present. The establishment of aseptic culture depends primarily on the explant type, as all selections were collected from natural habitat. For nearly all investigated selections, dormant buds were the favored source, due to enabling rosette initiation in more than 58% cases. In P. cerasus L. selections, 100% contamination was noted when shoot tips were used as an explant source. Significant influence of the double-phase medium on the number and height of multiplied shoots was observed in the standard cherry rootstock, â€˜Gisela 6â€™. For P. fruticosa Pall., selection â€˜SV1â€™ and â€˜SV2â€™, and P. cerasus â€˜D6â€™ selection, the double-phase medium also had a significant effect on the height of multiplied shoots, when compared to solid DKW (Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut) medium. Genetic variability of selections within the investigated species resulted in variable plant rooting success. Adding Fe-EDDHA (Ethylenediamine di-2-hydroxy-phenyl acetate ferric) in the 200 mg l-1 concentration to the rooting medium significantly enhanced the percentage of rooted plants. The highest rooting percentage was noted for â€˜Gisela 6â€™ and â€˜D6â€™ genotype at 1 mgl-1 IBA (indole-3-butyric acid), while 0.8 mgl-1 was the optimum concentration for P. mahaleb L. â€˜M1â€™ selection. P. fruticosa genotypes required significantly higher IBA concentration for rooting (2.5 and 3.5 mg l-1).

“…Sampling methodology and subsequent root preservation, cross-section preparation, and investigation was conducted as described by Zorić et al [21] and Ljubojević et al [3,5]. Five skeletal woody roots (with secondary structure) from in situ mother plants were taken approximately 10 cm from the branching point from different sides of the root system.…”

The general aim of this research was to determine whether the cherry root cambium possesses similar water-stress adaptation abilities as the scion. Specifically, this study aimed to determine whether there is a shift in root xylem structure due to precipitation fluctuations and temperature increase during the growing season in two cherry species. Oblačinska sour cherry and European ground cherry roots with secondary structure were anatomically surveyed in detail, and correlated with meteorological conditions occurring during the vegetation when the roots were formed. Under environmental signals, both investigated species altered their radial root growth imprinting stops and starts in a cambial activity that resulted in the occurrence of intra-annual false growth rings. Changing environmental conditions triggered the shifts of large and small vessels throughout the false growth rings, but their size seemed to be mainly genetically controlled. Taking into consideration all the above, genotypes with moderate vessel lumen area—lesser or around 1200 μm2 in the inner zone, as well as no greater than 1500 μm2 in the outer zone—are presumed to be both size-controlling and stable upon the drought events. Thus, further field trials will be focused on the SV2 European ground cherry genotype, and OV13, OV32, and OV34 Oblačinska sour cherry genotypes.

“…The rootstock influence on the water supply and transport of dissolved substances to the aboveground part, as well as the metabolism and translocation of plant hormones, are considered as potential reasons for vigor reduction in trees grafted on size-controlling rootstocks [2,8]. Secondary xylem characteristics, especially the vessel lumen area and number, as well as the closely related root hydraulic conductivity, are widely accepted parameters of low-vigorous rootstock selection [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Water conductance capacity through the plant can be estimated by calculating the theoretical hydraulic conductivity of participating tissues, which is directly related to the overall tree growth potential [13,17,18].…”

Over the past few decades, numerous studies investigated the vigor and productivity of fruit species depending on the rootstock on which they were grafted, but the exact size-controlling mechanism itself has not been fully elucidated, nor were the rapid rootstock selection methods defined. Thus, this study aimed to assess the root anatomical characteristics and their influence on the overall ‘Summit’ cherry tree vigor to confirm the size-controlling effect and establish an effective protocol for rapid rootstock selection. Plant material included three cherry species (Prunus cerasus, Prunus fruticosa, and Prunus mahaleb) and interspecific hybrid ‘Gisela 5′ (P. cerasus × Prunus canescens) as a control. The detailed anatomical analysis included root samples with the differentiated secondary structure taken from the sampling depth of 10–15 cm. Roots with percentages of vessels ≈40%, ≈50%, and ≈10% belonging to size-classes ˂700 µm2, 700–2000 μm2, and ˃2000 µm2 (respectively) are presumed to provide optimal amounts of water solution to the scion, without compromising plant vitality, drought tolerance, and size-controlling effect. Statistically significant correlations were determined between anatomical properties (the percentage of vessels, especially ˃2000 µm2, xylem porosity, and hydraulic conductivity, both per mm2 and total root) and vegetative growth in the juvenile vegetative phase, indicating direct vessel size influence on plant vigor and its employment in size-controlling cherry rootstock selection.
