INTRODUCTION
Rootstock:-
• A fruit tree rootstock is the stump
of a related species which already
has an established, healthy root
system, and to which a separate
fruit tree is joined by grafting or
budding (Thomas and Morgan).
• The resulting fruit tree will be
stronger, quicker to establish and
will take on the desirable features
of the rootstock itself.
ROOT STOCK
The working part which
interacts with the soil to
nourish the new plant
Timeline of Rootstock
First used in European vineyards in
the late 1800s
to combat devastating Phylloxera
outbreak.
Root stock types
WHY ROOTSTOCKS ARE USED IN FRUIT
PROPAGATION ..?
 Naturally, most fruit trees easily reach heights of at least 4.5
m (15 ft.).
 Such tall fruit trees would be difficult to harvest as well as
being far too large for most people’s gardens.
 One great advantage of dwarf rootstocks is that they have no
influence upon the size of fruit itself, so a dwarf ratio fruit tree
will produce the same sized fruits as a large orchard sized tree.
 Some times the scion cultivar otherwise highly suitable may
not be fit for cultivation or successful when grown on its own
roots
Stock Scion Relationships
 The performance of a graft is the result of
interaction of stock and scion.
A. Effect of Stock on Scion Cultivates:
1. Size and Growth Habit
2. Precocity in Flowering and Fruiting.
3. Fruit Set and Yield
4. Fruit Size and Quality
5. Nutrient Status of Scion
6. Winter Hardiness
7. Diseases and pest Resistance
8.Ability to resist soil adverse conditions
B. Effect of Scion on Root Stock:
 1. Effect on Root System of Stock
 2. Cold Hardiness of the Rootstock
 3. Age of Root Stock Seedling.
FunctionFunction
Dwarfing might be caused by water supply restrictions to the scion
induced by anatomical characteristics of the rootstock
( Beakbane, 1956: Aykinson et al., 2003)
It was caused by reduction of solutes transported to the scion
through the rootstock (Bukovac et al., 1958; Jones, 1976)
Dwarfing might be caused by partial incompatibility between the
scion and the rootstock which may alter the transport of minerals and
hormones (Webster, 2004)
INTERACTION
Objectives
 Breeding for vigorous rootstock.
 Breeding for resistant to pests and diseases.
 Breeding for resistant to salt , drought and lime.
 Precocity, dwarfness.
 Adaptation to different soil conditions.
 Adaptation to different climatic conditions.
Abilities of Rootstock
1.     Nursery ability:
 Ready availability of seed.
 High percentage of polyembryony.
 Good germination and seedling growth.
 Free from pests attacks and easy budding.
2.       Soil adaptability:
 Relative vigour of growth on soils of varied depth, structure, 
texture, pH, salinity, moisture and nutrient supply.
3.  Climatic adaptability: 
 Hardiness. 
 Resist to cold.
4. Biotic adaptability : 
 Free from or resistant to various soil borne diseases. 
 Some rootstocks are found superior in one or more of these 
qualities  but  inferior  in  other  but  none  is  found 
outstandingly superior in all respects.
 Some    rootstocks  may  be  superior  for  one  scion  variety 
under given environmental conditions and inferior for other 
variety. 
IMPROTANCE OF ROOTSTOCKS IN FRUIT CROPS
 Impart resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses of scion cultivar
 Resistant to adverse soil and climatic conditions
 Cold hardiness
 Provide strong root system
 Regulate uptake of moisture and nutrients
 Regulate tree vigour and size
 Dwarfing effect
 Affect flowering, fruit set, fruit drop, fruit size
 Affect fruit quality and yield
 Trees propagated on rootstocks are true to type, comes to bear earlier, precocious.
 Affect compositions of fruit crops
 Affect storage life and preservation properties of fruits crops 
PROBLEMS
 Graft incompatibility
 Use in possible only in dicots
 Difference in the performance according to region, pests, 
diseases, abiotic conditions and other characters
 Less options of superior rootstocks
 Reproduction by sexual method
 Knowledge of characteristics of rootstocks
Symptoms
 Complete failure to form a graft union
 Very low percentage of graft success
 Union takes place, growth occurs but eventually the tree dies 
either in the nursery or in the field.
 Degeneration of tissues at the graft joint, yellowing of foliage 
and premature defoliation
 Small stunted growth and general ill health of the graft
 Deficiency symptoms or nutritional disorders
 Over growth or under growth of the stock or the scion
 Excessive swelling of the graft joint
 Breaking of the tree at the point of graft joint and the breakage 
is clear and smooth

Causes
1. Distant relationship
2. Anatomical causes
 Vascular connection between stock and scion is interrupted due to which movement 
of minerals, water and metabolites get disturb.
 Accumulation of excess callus tissues between graft components
 Lack of proper lignification of cell walls.
3. Physiological causes
 Due to inability of the stock or the scion to supply the other component with the 
necessary amount or quality of materials of normal functioning
 In certain graft combinations one components (Scion or stock) produces chemicals 
that are toxic to the other, killing the entire plant.
4. Pathogenic causes
 Virus or mycoplasma infected rootstock or scion may produce a graft 
incompatibility.
Types of Rootstock
1. Localized
 At the actual contact between stock and scion
 It can be overcome by inserting a mutually compatible inter 
stock between them.
2. Translocated
 Degeneration of phloem takes place
 Cannot be checked by any method

Apple
Apples can be grafted in several ways. A
particularly common graft is the “whip and
tongue” method. (Hertz, Jauron, Hartmann )
Apple tissue culture dates back to the late
1960s and the early 1970s when apple
shoots had been cultured in vitro and their
axenic growth was first reported. ( Jones,
1967, Elliott, 1972 and Walkey, 1972).
Rootstock useD in apple
 In past times, seedlings that sprouted naturally in pomace piles around
cider mills were often dug up, and buds from known scion varieties were
grafted onto these seedlings for planting new orchards.
 Since the genetic traits of these seedling rootstocks were unknown, their
performance was unpredictable.
 To avoid these problems, most orchards today are propagated from
"clonal" rootstocks that is, they are grafted onto rootstocks that are
genetically identical offshoots or clones of a mother rootstock type with
certain desirable characteristics.
 Most of the important apple rootstocks used today were derived from
collections and selections by East Malling Research Station in England,
during the early 1900s.

seRies of clonal Rootstocks
 Mitra (1991) enumerated numerous series of clonal rootstocks, namely:
1. " M" Malling series developed stocks : The Malling series of Rootstock
(16) were selected by R.G. Hutton at East Malling Research Station in Kent,
England from old European clones like French Paradise and Doucin . E.g.
M-2, M-6, M-9, M-26, M-27 etc
2."MM" Malling Merton series: in 1928, two institutes in England (John Inns
Horticultural Institute, Merton and East Malling Research Station, Malling)
had a joint venture to develop wooly aphid resistant apple rootstocks like
MM 106, MM 109 etc.
3."EMLA" designates East Malling / Long Ashton research stations who took
the "M" stocks and developed virus free versions. For example, EMLA 7 is
M 7 with a guaranteed virus-free stock.
4."CG" or "G" designates Cornell-Geneva stocks which are those developed
via the Cornell and USDA collaboration at the New York Agricultural
Experiment Station in Geneva, NY. The "G" is the old designation. G.41 ,
G.11 , G.202
cont…
5. Polish (P) series: Developed in Poland e. g. P 1, P 2, P 16, P 18, and P 22
etc. P 18 have considerable resistant to collar rot disease but susceptible to
fire blight, whereas P 22 has dwarfing effect on scion variety
6. Budagovsky (Bud) series: These selections have been developed with the
primary objective of winter hardiness. All of them have been able to
withstand the severe winter. These are developed at the Michurin College of
Horticulture, Russia. Some of the rootstocks are Bud 9, Bud 67-490 and Bud
57-491
7. MAC series: Developed by Michigan State University, USA. e. g. MAC 9.
Apple rootstock (Resistant/tolerant)
V3 (Vineland 3) Moderately resist to fire
G-65 (Genera 65) Resist to fireblight caser rot

seeDling Rootstock :
Vigorous trees produced on a rootstock grown from seed.
There is greater variability than with the vegetatively
propagated rootstocks.
 Apples used for production of seedling rootstocks include
"Dolgo" and "Antonovka", which are both extremely hardy and
vigorous.
peaR
• Propagation: tongue grafting and double
grafting. T-budding is also used in
commercially propagation
 Quince C: Moderately vigorous
 Quince A: Medium vigor- Slightly more
vigorous than Quince C, this is the most
common variety upon which pears are grafted.
 Some varieties however are not compatible
with quince, and these require double working.

 Example: Bristol Cros, Dr. Jules Guyot
Williams Bon Chrétien, Bartlett, Bosc, Winter
nellis, Eldorado, Clapp favorite, Secke
(Rathore, 1991)
Peach
 Propagation – T-budding and tongue grafting.
 The most commonly used rootstocks are Nemaguard,
Nemared, Lovell, Halford, and Guardian.
 In addition to these, there are four others: Flordaguard, a low-
chill, nematode-resistant rootstock developed in Florida, and
three peach-almond hybrid rootstocks developed in California.
CONT…
 Choice of rootstock depends on weather and soil conditions at
your orchard site. These rootstocks differ in five main traits:
• Resistance to root knot nematodes- Nemaguard, Nemared, and
Yunnan.
• Tolerance to calcareous soil conditions- Titan Hybrids and the Hansen
rootstock.
• Tolerance to water-logged soil conditions.
• Cold hardiness- Lovell and Guardian
• Tolerance to peach tree short life (PTSL)- Guardian is the only PTSL
tolerant rootstock that is available

Rootstock

  • 1. 1 On Ch. Allaylay Devi PhD. (Hort.) Dept. of FSC Ch. Allaylay Devi PhD. (Hort.) Dept. of FSC Presentation
  • 2. INTRODUCTION Rootstock:- • A fruit tree rootstock is the stump of a related species which already has an established, healthy root system, and to which a separate fruit tree is joined by grafting or budding (Thomas and Morgan). • The resulting fruit tree will be stronger, quicker to establish and will take on the desirable features of the rootstock itself.
  • 3. ROOT STOCK The working part which interacts with the soil to nourish the new plant
  • 4. Timeline of Rootstock First used in European vineyards in the late 1800s to combat devastating Phylloxera outbreak.
  • 6. WHY ROOTSTOCKS ARE USED IN FRUIT PROPAGATION ..?  Naturally, most fruit trees easily reach heights of at least 4.5 m (15 ft.).  Such tall fruit trees would be difficult to harvest as well as being far too large for most people’s gardens.  One great advantage of dwarf rootstocks is that they have no influence upon the size of fruit itself, so a dwarf ratio fruit tree will produce the same sized fruits as a large orchard sized tree.  Some times the scion cultivar otherwise highly suitable may not be fit for cultivation or successful when grown on its own roots
  • 7. Stock Scion Relationships  The performance of a graft is the result of interaction of stock and scion. A. Effect of Stock on Scion Cultivates: 1. Size and Growth Habit 2. Precocity in Flowering and Fruiting. 3. Fruit Set and Yield 4. Fruit Size and Quality 5. Nutrient Status of Scion 6. Winter Hardiness 7. Diseases and pest Resistance 8.Ability to resist soil adverse conditions
  • 8. B. Effect of Scion on Root Stock:  1. Effect on Root System of Stock  2. Cold Hardiness of the Rootstock  3. Age of Root Stock Seedling.
  • 10. Dwarfing might be caused by water supply restrictions to the scion induced by anatomical characteristics of the rootstock ( Beakbane, 1956: Aykinson et al., 2003) It was caused by reduction of solutes transported to the scion through the rootstock (Bukovac et al., 1958; Jones, 1976) Dwarfing might be caused by partial incompatibility between the scion and the rootstock which may alter the transport of minerals and hormones (Webster, 2004)
  • 12.
  • 13.
  • 14. Objectives  Breeding for vigorous rootstock.  Breeding for resistant to pests and diseases.  Breeding for resistant to salt , drought and lime.  Precocity, dwarfness.  Adaptation to different soil conditions.  Adaptation to different climatic conditions.
  • 15. Abilities of Rootstock 1.     Nursery ability:  Ready availability of seed.  High percentage of polyembryony.  Good germination and seedling growth.  Free from pests attacks and easy budding. 2.       Soil adaptability:  Relative vigour of growth on soils of varied depth, structure,  texture, pH, salinity, moisture and nutrient supply. 3.  Climatic adaptability:   Hardiness.   Resist to cold.
  • 16. 4. Biotic adaptability :   Free from or resistant to various soil borne diseases.   Some rootstocks are found superior in one or more of these  qualities  but  inferior  in  other  but  none  is  found  outstandingly superior in all respects.  Some    rootstocks  may  be  superior  for  one  scion  variety  under given environmental conditions and inferior for other  variety. 
  • 17. IMPROTANCE OF ROOTSTOCKS IN FRUIT CROPS  Impart resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses of scion cultivar  Resistant to adverse soil and climatic conditions  Cold hardiness  Provide strong root system  Regulate uptake of moisture and nutrients  Regulate tree vigour and size  Dwarfing effect  Affect flowering, fruit set, fruit drop, fruit size  Affect fruit quality and yield  Trees propagated on rootstocks are true to type, comes to bear earlier, precocious.  Affect compositions of fruit crops  Affect storage life and preservation properties of fruits crops 
  • 18. PROBLEMS  Graft incompatibility  Use in possible only in dicots  Difference in the performance according to region, pests,  diseases, abiotic conditions and other characters  Less options of superior rootstocks  Reproduction by sexual method  Knowledge of characteristics of rootstocks
  • 19. Symptoms  Complete failure to form a graft union  Very low percentage of graft success  Union takes place, growth occurs but eventually the tree dies  either in the nursery or in the field.  Degeneration of tissues at the graft joint, yellowing of foliage  and premature defoliation  Small stunted growth and general ill health of the graft
  • 20.  Deficiency symptoms or nutritional disorders  Over growth or under growth of the stock or the scion  Excessive swelling of the graft joint  Breaking of the tree at the point of graft joint and the breakage  is clear and smooth 20 Cont..
  • 21. Causes 1. Distant relationship 2. Anatomical causes  Vascular connection between stock and scion is interrupted due to which movement  of minerals, water and metabolites get disturb.  Accumulation of excess callus tissues between graft components  Lack of proper lignification of cell walls. 3. Physiological causes  Due to inability of the stock or the scion to supply the other component with the  necessary amount or quality of materials of normal functioning  In certain graft combinations one components (Scion or stock) produces chemicals  that are toxic to the other, killing the entire plant. 4. Pathogenic causes  Virus or mycoplasma infected rootstock or scion may produce a graft  incompatibility.
  • 22. Types of Rootstock 1. Localized  At the actual contact between stock and scion  It can be overcome by inserting a mutually compatible inter  stock between them. 2. Translocated  Degeneration of phloem takes place  Cannot be checked by any method
  • 24. MANGO Propagation-  veneer  grafting,  inarching  side  grafting and cutting, epicotyle grafting.
  • 25. ROOTSTOCk OF MANGO  To  minimize  the  variability  in  mango,  the  poly-embryonic  races, known for their uniformity and vigorous growth offer a  great scope for use as rootstocks.  Kurrukan- salt resistant polyembryonic.  Olour-  vigorous rootstock   Vellaikolamban-  dwarfing and allopolyploid  Rumani - Dwarfing  Moovandan and Nekkare - salt tolerent.
  • 26.  Gomera 1: Most adaptable in saline conditions where low water  quality.  Species Mangifera minor: Resistant to anthracnose  Mangitera zeylanica : Salinity resist.  Olour and Villai collumban : dwarfing.  Seedlings from stone of  Kesar variety found better  Bappakai  and Olour : salt tolerant for high survival, germination  and growth percentage under salt stress condition (Varu and Barad,  2010)  Dashehari and Chousa : salt resist.

  • 35. Apple Apples can be grafted in several ways. A particularly common graft is the “whip and tongue” method. (Hertz, Jauron, Hartmann ) Apple tissue culture dates back to the late 1960s and the early 1970s when apple shoots had been cultured in vitro and their axenic growth was first reported. ( Jones, 1967, Elliott, 1972 and Walkey, 1972).
  • 36. Rootstock useD in apple  In past times, seedlings that sprouted naturally in pomace piles around cider mills were often dug up, and buds from known scion varieties were grafted onto these seedlings for planting new orchards.  Since the genetic traits of these seedling rootstocks were unknown, their performance was unpredictable.  To avoid these problems, most orchards today are propagated from "clonal" rootstocks that is, they are grafted onto rootstocks that are genetically identical offshoots or clones of a mother rootstock type with certain desirable characteristics.  Most of the important apple rootstocks used today were derived from collections and selections by East Malling Research Station in England, during the early 1900s. Ian A. Merwin1999

  • 38. seRies of clonal Rootstocks  Mitra (1991) enumerated numerous series of clonal rootstocks, namely: 1. " M" Malling series developed stocks : The Malling series of Rootstock (16) were selected by R.G. Hutton at East Malling Research Station in Kent, England from old European clones like French Paradise and Doucin . E.g. M-2, M-6, M-9, M-26, M-27 etc 2."MM" Malling Merton series: in 1928, two institutes in England (John Inns Horticultural Institute, Merton and East Malling Research Station, Malling) had a joint venture to develop wooly aphid resistant apple rootstocks like MM 106, MM 109 etc. 3."EMLA" designates East Malling / Long Ashton research stations who took the "M" stocks and developed virus free versions. For example, EMLA 7 is M 7 with a guaranteed virus-free stock. 4."CG" or "G" designates Cornell-Geneva stocks which are those developed via the Cornell and USDA collaboration at the New York Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY. The "G" is the old designation. G.41 , G.11 , G.202
  • 39. cont… 5. Polish (P) series: Developed in Poland e. g. P 1, P 2, P 16, P 18, and P 22 etc. P 18 have considerable resistant to collar rot disease but susceptible to fire blight, whereas P 22 has dwarfing effect on scion variety 6. Budagovsky (Bud) series: These selections have been developed with the primary objective of winter hardiness. All of them have been able to withstand the severe winter. These are developed at the Michurin College of Horticulture, Russia. Some of the rootstocks are Bud 9, Bud 67-490 and Bud 57-491 7. MAC series: Developed by Michigan State University, USA. e. g. MAC 9.

  • 41. seeDling Rootstock : Vigorous trees produced on a rootstock grown from seed. There is greater variability than with the vegetatively propagated rootstocks.  Apples used for production of seedling rootstocks include "Dolgo" and "Antonovka", which are both extremely hardy and vigorous.
  • 42. peaR • Propagation: tongue grafting and double grafting. T-budding is also used in commercially propagation  Quince C: Moderately vigorous  Quince A: Medium vigor- Slightly more vigorous than Quince C, this is the most common variety upon which pears are grafted.  Some varieties however are not compatible with quince, and these require double working.   Example: Bristol Cros, Dr. Jules Guyot Williams Bon Chrétien, Bartlett, Bosc, Winter nellis, Eldorado, Clapp favorite, Secke (Rathore, 1991)
  • 43. Peach  Propagation – T-budding and tongue grafting.  The most commonly used rootstocks are Nemaguard, Nemared, Lovell, Halford, and Guardian.  In addition to these, there are four others: Flordaguard, a low- chill, nematode-resistant rootstock developed in Florida, and three peach-almond hybrid rootstocks developed in California.
  • 44. CONT…  Choice of rootstock depends on weather and soil conditions at your orchard site. These rootstocks differ in five main traits: • Resistance to root knot nematodes- Nemaguard, Nemared, and Yunnan. • Tolerance to calcareous soil conditions- Titan Hybrids and the Hansen rootstock. • Tolerance to water-logged soil conditions. • Cold hardiness- Lovell and Guardian • Tolerance to peach tree short life (PTSL)- Guardian is the only PTSL tolerant rootstock that is available
