“…In some studies, it has been determined that grafting is effective on the vegetative development of plants (Salehi-Mohammedi et al, 2009;Ulas, 2021). Similarly, in this study, shoot length values of some grafting applications were determined higher in the control application.…”

“…It has been determined in other studies that the biomass values increase with the use of rootstock, and plant growth is encouraged depending on the rootstock (Khah, 2005). Although biomass production is determined higher in grafted plants (Ulas et al, 2020;Ulas, 2021), the rate of change varies according to rootstocks (Öztekin, 2009).…”

With grafting, nutrient intake and use efficiency can also be increased (Colla et al, 2010;Ulas et al, 2021). Producer demand for grafted seedlings has increased in vegetable growing, especially in Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae family vegetable species (Güngör and Balkaya, 2016;Karaağaç et al, 2018).…”

Due to the benefits and importance of the use of grafted seedlings, the demand for high quality grafted seedlings is increasing. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of rootstocks on some morphological and physiological parameters of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plant under hydroponic growing conditions. In this study, grafted on seven different rootstocks and non-grafted plant characteristics were compared. Non-grafted seedlings were used as control plants. The values measured in at least one grafting application in 9 different morphological and/or physiological parameters among the 12 parameters measured were higher than the non-grafted plants. In leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) and root dry weight/fresh weight rate measurements, the values measured in non-grafted plants were not lower than grafted plants. It was determined that Cremna and Devrim rootstocks were effective in terms of shoot length and biomass values, but rootstock use did not have a significant effect in terms of photosynthetic activity. It was concluded that grafting of cucumber plants on different rootstocks may cause significant advantages in terms of some parameters, but the effects largely depend on the rootstock selection.

“…At the end of the experiment, plant height from cocopeat level to growth tip (cm), plant stem and leaf fresh weights (g) and plant stem diameter 4 cm above ground level (mm) were determined (Ulas et al 2021;Oral, 2019). All harvests made during the experiment were weighed and recorded separately for each plant as yield per plant, marketable yield per plant, unmarketable yield per plant (g plant -1 ) .…”

This study was conducted to determine the effects of four pruning methods (Non-pruned, two, three and four stem pruning) on some growth parameters, yield and fruit quality in California Wonder Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The experiment was carried out between April and September 2020 in a climate controlled venlo type glass research greenhouse with automation system. In this study, two commercial pepper Rapido and Roxy California Wonder type (Rapido: red color Roxy: yellow color) varieties were used. Seedlings transplanted in cocopeat slabs were grown in soilless culture. The experiment was designed according to randomized plots with three replicates each including eight plants. Pruning applications-leaving two, three and four branches in pepper varieties significantly increased plant height, plant fresh weight and stem diameter as compared to the non-pruned plants. Pruning methods significantly increased fruit weight, fruit length and fruit diameter. Leaf chlorophyll index (SPAD), fruit flesh thickness, fruit firmness, fruit Brix and fruit EC values were positively affected by pruning methods. However, there was no significant differences observed regarding pruning methods on fruit color and pH. Total yield per plant was reduced as compared to non-pruned plants, except for four branch pruning. However, the reduction in the number of branches left with pruning significantly increased the rate of marketable fruit. To conclude, it was determined that the decrease in the number of branches left in California Wonder pepper varieties significantly decreased the number of non-marketable fruits, especially three and four branch pruning increased fruit quality as well as marketable yield.

This is the first hydroponic study that evaluated the role of the heterotic plant characters of crossbreeding progenies and accessions which were used as rootstock for watermelon (scion) to improve the nitrogen (N) efficiency of this crop by grafting. The target of the research was to evaluate if grafting could enhance the nitrogen efficiency of watermelon through examining the responses of heterotic plant characters of crossbreeding rootstocks in the shoot development at the agronomical stage, root developments at the morphological stage, and leaf growth at various physiological stages. A hydroponic experiment was conducted by using an aerated deep-water culture (DWC) system in a well-equipped growth chamber of Erciyes University’s Plant Physiology Laboratory located at Kayseri, Türkiye. A watermelon cultivar Crimson Tide (CT) was grafted onto watermelon cultivars of Calhoun Gray (CG), Charleston Gray (Cha. G), and accessions of PI 296341 and PI 271769, the crossbreed progenies of Calhoun Gray × PI 296341, Calhoun Gray × PI 271769, and Charleston Gray × PI 296341. Plants were grown in 8 L plastic containers filled continuously with aired stock nutrient solution under two nitrogen (N) doses (low dose N: 0.3 mM unit N, and high dose N: 3.0 mM unit N) in a completely randomized block design (RBD) which was replicated three times, for six weeks. The grafted plants usually showed a higher crop growth performance than the self-grafted control plants, illustrating that nitrogen efficiency was significantly enhanced with respect to rootstocks of crossbreed progenies under a low N dose and high N dose. The N efficiency of grafted watermelon (CT) was improved by the high manifestation of heterosis in some root morphological characters (vigor root development and active root mechanism) of some of the crossbreeding rootstocks (Calhoun Gray × PI 271769) particularly in low-N conditions. Additionally, some of the crossbreeding rootstocks (Charleston Gray × PI 296341) exhibited high heterosis, which led to improving the N efficiency of grafted watermelon (CT) by inducing leaf physiological responses under high N supply. This clearly indicated that heterosis plays a crucial role in exploiting the genetic diversity in the N efficiency of watermelon. Therefore, these heterotic plant traits may be vital for the selection and breeding of nitrogen-efficient rootstocks for both small-scale and large-scale commercial farming in the nearby future.
