PtoHY5 integrates photoperiodic signals with the ABA pathway to coordinate growth cessation and dormancy in Populus

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In Populus, short days deactivate the growth‐promoting protein PtoHY5, turning off a growth accelerator and activating an abscisic acid‐driven brake. This directly couples growth cessation with dormancy, underscoring the role of abscisic acid in synchronizing these transitions for winter survival.

Solanum lycopersicoides Introgression Lines Used as Rootstocks Uncover QTLs Affecting Tomato Morphological and Fruit Quality Traits

Horticulturae
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the most important vegetable crop globally; however, its production is often hindered by soil-borne biotic and abiotic stresses.

High‐Contiguity Haplotype‐Resolved Genome Assembly of the Hexaploid Actinidia valvata Rootstock Sheds Light on Waterlogging Resistance Gene

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyploidisation, creating redundant or diverged copies of the genome, is a major driving force in plant evolution, diversification and environmental adaptation, including for the kiwifruit genus (Actinidia Lindl.). We present a high‐contiguity, haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of the hexaploid Actinidia valvata rootstock cultivar ...

Selection of Apple Trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) Based on Genetic Parameters Estimated Through Mixed Models

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Brazilian apple breeding (Malus domestica Borkh.), Active Germplasm Banks are providing the genetic diversity required for selecting genotypes with low chilling requirements, high yield and superior fruit quality. This study estimated genetic parameters and perform genotype selection based on phenotypic traits from the IDR‐Paraná breeding ...

Evidence of Graft Incompatibility and Rootstock Scion Interactions in Cacao

Horticulturae
This study sought to quantify and characterize diverse rootstock scion interactions in cacao around graft compatibility, disease resistance, nutrient use efficiency, vigor traits, and translocation of nonstructural carbohydrates. In total, 106 grafts were performed with three scion cultivars (Matina 1/6, Criollo 22, Pound 7) and nine diverse open ...

Compliance in Regulatory Gray Areas: The Case of the Organic Seed Standard

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptive regulations, designed to balance flexibility with accountability, can embed provisions that unintentionally leave room for firms to shirk on their responsibilities by exploiting flexibility. We call these provisions “regulatory gray areas,” and ask: how should we understand (non‐)compliance in adaptive regulatory settings?

Perspective Chapter: Rootstock-Scion Interaction Effect on Improving Salt Tolerance in Fruit Trees

, 2023
Salt stress is a sever threat to global agriculture. Improving salt tolerance is a problematic task due to the large number of characteristics involved. Graft technique is a potential substitute to breeding and interesting practices to salt tolerance since it unites a scion and rootstock of two genotypes.

Graft Biology in the CRISPR Era: From Tissue Fusion to Genome Compatibility

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant lineage has traditionally constrained grafting compatibility, with monocots generally considered incompatible because of their dispersed vascular bundles and limited secondary growth. Recent studies have shown that embryonic grafting can establish successful graft unions in selected monocot systems by exploiting early developmental ...

Genetic variability, heritability, and trait associations for growth and yield characters in kola [Cola nitida (Vent) Schott. & Endl.]

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Genetic enhancement of crop plants such as kola [Cola nitida (Vent) Schott. & Endl.] can be made effective and efficient via estimates of genetic parameters. Our study evaluated genetic parameters to provide insights into heritable variability and character associations in kola to guide variety development.

Effect of grafting time and technique on the success rate of grafted Mango (Mangifera indica L.) in Kalu District of Amhara Region, North Eastern Ethiopia

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2019
Vegetative propagation through grafting is the recommended method for most fruit crops including mango. It involves the joining of scion and rootstock where the rootstock develops into the root system while the scion develops the upper fruiting part of ...
