“…They are more tolerant to heavy and calcareous soils, with root waterlogging and iron-chlorosis problems, than other Prunus species (Moreno et al, 1995). However, they induce, in general, an excessive vigor to the scion, exhibit high presence of root suckers, and present cases of grafting incompatibilities with certain cultivars of the 'Reine Claude' group (Moreno et al, 1995) and other plum cultivars (Butac et al, 2015). To overcome these problems, together with the increasing demand for high density plum plantings with more precocious rootstocks, other plum rootstocks and different Prunus sp.…”

Field performance, leaf mineral content and fruit quality of two 'Greengage' plum cvs. 'R.C. Bavay' and 'R.C. GF 1119' budded on two plum based rootstocks (Ishtara and P.8-13) were studied in the network of an international European plum trial, promoted by the Fruit Research Station of the INRA of Bordeaux (France) and other European Research Centers. Trees were established in the winter of 1993-1994 in a heavy and calcareous soil with climate conditions typical of the Mediterranean area. Trees of 'R.C. GF 1119' were more vigorous than those from 'R.C. Bavay'. The highest yield was observed on the P.8-13 rootstock for both cultivars. In contrast, the highest cumulative yield and yield efficiency were induced by 'R.C. Bavay', independently of the rootstock. All trees budded on Ishtara survived well, whereas tree mortality was reported in trees budded on P.8-13 for each cultivar. Leaf chlorophyll content varied depending of the rootstock-scion combination. Most of the mineral nutrient concentrations were not affected by the rootstock-scion combination, with the exception of Mn, which was significantly lower on Ishtara for both cultivars. Overall, Ishtara resulted the best adapted rootstock to soil waterlogging and calcareous soil conditions showing a good tree survival and best leaf Fe mineral content. Further studies with plum varieties budded onto P.8-13 rootstock should be carried out to in order to recommend their use on soils with no waterlogging and/or associated diseases. Comparing the two cultivars, 'R.C. Bavay' showed better agronomic performance than 'R.C. GF 1119', in terms of cumulative yield and yield efficiency, and similar good fruit quality.

“…Worldwide information related to the rootstock influence on vigor, graft-compatibility, leaf mineral content and yield characteristics of plum tree is well known (Butac et al, 2015;Ferlito et al, 2015;Hartmann et al, 2007;Meland and FrØynes, 2006;Mészáros et al, 2015;Moreno et al, 1995;Pedersen, 2010;Sosna, 2002;Sottile et al, 2012).…”

“…The plum cultivation mainly relied on the use of clonal rootstocks because of their various technical and economic advantages [4]. As an example, low vigor rootstocks are indispensable for the orchards with a dense plant system when the planting distance is only 4 × 2 m (1250 trees/ha) [5,6]. The 'Saint Julien' (Prunus domestica subsp.…”

In recent years, light emitting diodes (LEDs), due to their low energy consumption, low heat emission and specific wavelength irradiation, have become an alternative to fluorescent lamps (FLs) in plant tissue culture. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various LED light sources on the in vitro growth and rooting of plum rootstock Saint Julien (Prunus domestica subsp. insititia). The test plantlets were cultivated under a Philips GreenPower LEDs research module illumination system with four spectral regions: white (W), red (R), blue (B) and mixed (W:R:B:far-red = 1:1:1:1). The control plantlets were cultivated under fluorescent lamps (FL) and the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of all treatments was set at 87 ± 7.5 μmol m−2 s−1. The effect of light source on the selected physiological, biochemical and growth parameters of plantlets was monitored. Additionally, microscopic observations of leaf anatomy, leaf morphometric parameters and stomata characteristics were carried out. The results showed that the multiplication index (MI) varied from 8.3 (B) to 16.3 (R). The MI of plantlets grown under mixed light (WBR) was 9, lower compared to the control (FL) and white light (W), being 12.7 and 10.7, respectively. In addition, a mixed light (WBR) favored plantlets’ stem growth and biomass accumulation at the multiplication stage. Considering these three indicators, we could conclude that under the mixed light, the microplants were of better quality and therefore mixed light (WBR) was more suitable during the multiplication phase. A reduction in both net photosynthesis rate and stomatal conductance in the leaves of plants grown under B were observed. The quantum yield (Yield = FV/FM), which represents the potential photochemical activity of PS II, ranged from 0.805 to 0.831 and corresponded to the typical photochemical activity (0.750–0.830) in the leaves of unstressed healthy plants. The red light had a beneficial effect on the rooting of plum plants; the rooting was over 98%, significantly higher than for the control (FL, 68%) and the mixed light (WBR, 19%). In conclusion, the mixed light (WBR) turned out to be the best choice during the multiplication phase and the red LED light was more suitable during the rooting stage.

“…Radović et al [17] confirmed a significant amount of phenolic and sugar content in plums depending on the rootstock that was used. In general, the influence of rootstock on European plum quality is well described, while the effect of rootstock on Japanese plums has been poorly studied [18]. The myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera) seedling is the most widely used rootstock in Europe.…”

Previous study hsas confirmed the influence of rootstock on the scion. Using a suitable rootstock for plum cultivar can affect many qualitative parameters of fruit. This study deals with the pomological and chemical analysis of three plums of Japanese origin (Prunus salicina) ‘Black Amber’, ‘Karkulka’, ‘Shiro’ and one European origin (Prunus domestica) ‘Stanley’ grown on five different rootstock (Ishtara, St. Julien A, Torinel, Citation and Penta) planted in Czech Republic. During the year, the phenological phases of date of blooming, flower set, date of ripening, and fruit set were determined. In this study, significant negative correlation (p < 0.05, R = −0.6831) was determined between fruit set and fruit weight. Rootstocks did not have influence on the fruit weight, but ‘Karkulka’ reached significantly higher fruit weight on St. Julien A and Citation rootstocks (32 g) than on the other three rootstocks (24 to 26 g). For all cultivars, fruit firmness and soluble solid content (SSC) were measured. The rootstocks greatly influenced the titratable acidity of plums which reached the highest value for cultivars grown on Citation rootstock (from 0.65 to 2.43%) and the lowest when grown on Ishtara rootstock (from 0.53 to 1.88%). In addition, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant capacity were determined. The cultivars on Ishtara rootstock reached the highest values of TPC (from 336.26 to 562.75 mg (GAE)/100 g). The results presented in this study show influence of rootstock on quality of plums, where Ishtara rootstock was highlighted as the best.
