Abstract:

This study evaluated the effects of four rootstocks,Ziyang Xiangcheng(Citrus junons Sieb. ex. Tanaka),Carrizo citrange(C. sinensis × Poncirus trifoliata),Trifoliate orange[P. trifoliata(L.)Raf.] and Flying Dragon(P. trifoliata var. monstrosa)on growth performance,physiology and fruit quality characteristics of‘Hongjiang’orange[C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck] scion cultivar. Their correlation and difference were analyzed to provide a reference for screening excellent rootstock of citrus cultivated in the insect-proof net and container. The experimental results showed that the grafting survival rate,root development,single-leaf weight and single fruit weight of Ziyang Xiangcheng rootstock were significantly higher than other rootstocks. The grafting interface healed completely in Ziyang Xiangcheng rootstock;however,the fruit quality was inferior compared with other rootstocks.‘Hongjiang’orange plants grafted with Carrizo citrange rootstock had the strongest growth vigor,with extremely low bark(phloem)in the stem. Moreover,the fruit quality of Carrizo citrange rootstock was also excellent,with a smooth peel and fewer grooves. It has significantly more soluble solids and total sugars in the flesh than other rootstocks;in contrast,soluble solids/acidity ratio,total flavonoids and amino acid content were substantially higher than Ziyang Xiangcheng rootstock. Flying Dragon and Trifoliate orange rootstocks had lower graft survival rates,incomplete graft healing,slow root development,and weak growth vigour than more vigorous rootstocks. Therefore,the combination of‘Hongjiang’orange grafted on Carrizo citrange rootstock performed good horticultural performance under container culture. Pearson correlation analysis showed that graft survival and tree vigour were positively correlated with IAA/ABA,GA3/ABA and IAA/ZR at the grafting union;scion to stock trunk diameter ratio was negatively correlated with ZR,ABA and ZR/ABA in grafting union. Tree vigour was significantly negatively correlated with proportions of scion bark,leaf ABA level,IAA/GA3,and significantly negatively correlated with leaf water content,N,K and Zn,but significantly positively correlated with leaf ZR/ABA. Root growth was negatively correlated with ZR,BR and ABA,and positively correlated with IAA/ZR and IAA/GA3. The above indicates that hormonal interactions play an important role in grafting compatibility,vigour potential and root development of different rootstock combinations.
