“…In general, SL combinations produced the shortest shoots among the rest of the combinations (Table S2). In the meantime, stem diameter revealed significantly lower values in SH combinations (Figure 3, Table S2) even though SH had a rather thick stem before grafting [6]. Stem diameter is considered an efficient parameter for distinguishing grafted seedlings′ quality before going to market [14][15][16].…”

“…Depending on their quality, watermelon and interspecific squash seedlings were grouped into categories, namely "low" (i.e., more compact than optimum quality), "optimum", and "high" (i.e., more developed than optimum quality) which were clearly distinguished by a number of quantifiable parameters [6]. Briefly, for each watermelon quality category, leaf area ranges were 6-8, 8-10, and 10-12 cm 2 , respectively, while shoot dry weights were about 0.07, 0.08, and 0.09 g, respectively.…”

“…In 2009, Spain and Italy produced 60 million grafted watermelon seedlings (Lee et al, 2010), while in Greece about 19 million grafted watermelon seedlings are produced annually (Bantis et al, 2019a). The use of grafted watermelon seedlings in Greece reaches 99% under low tunnel protected cultivation in order to achieve yield earliness (Bantis et al, 2019b). High compatibility can be achieved with hybrid rootstocks from different watermelon varieties or other hybrids from cucurbit species such as squash (Cucurbita moschata), bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), and even interspecific squash hybrids such as TZ-148 (Cucurbita moschata × C. maxima).…”

“…It is highly essential that scion and rootstock seedlings are of high quality at the time of grafting in order to produce greatly valued grafted seedlings. Recently, Bantis et al (2019b) established objective criteria for the determination of watermelon and interspecific squash quality which may assist nurseries to select seedlings of certain quality characteristics and subsequently to enhance grafted seedling production. Moreover, a number of research groups (Alan et al, 2018;Fallik et al, 2019) highlighted the importance of scion-rootstock hybrid interactions for the quality of watermelon.…”
