This comprehensive collection offers five peer-reviewed reviews that delve into the realm of optimising rootstock health, a vital aspect in enhancing the overall performance and sustainability of fruit trees. In the opening chapter, the focus is on leveraging rootstock health to optimise root function, resource-use efficiency, sustainability, and agricultural productivity. The chapter also presents a compelling case study on the use of tomato rootstocks in Ghana, highlighting their potential as a viable strategy to mitigate abiotic stresses in tomato cultivation.
The second chapter delves into the intricate aspects of tree growth and development in apple production, recognizing the critical role of rootstocks in ensuring product quality. It explores the importance of rootstocks and highlights the mechanisms and morphological effects of dwarfing on rootstocks.
The third chapter takes a closer look at recent advancements in the development and utilisation of fruit tree rootstocks, with a particular emphasis on apples. The chapter reviews rootstock tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, shedding light on the importance of selecting rootstocks that can withstand the challenges posed by the growing environment.
The fourth chapter explores the potential of avocado tissue culture for clonal propagation, highlighting its significance in improving the sustainable supply of high-quality avocado plants to support the future growth of the avocado industry.
The final chapter addresses the challenges and opportunities in pear breeding, focusing on pear cultivars, pear rootstocks, and germplasm resources. It also considers the use of dwarfing as a means of enhancing specific traits in pear cultivars.
By presenting these comprehensive reviews, this collection provides valuable insights into the latest research and practices related to optimising rootstock health, ultimately contributing to the improvement of fruit tree productivity, sustainability, and resilience in agricultural landscapes.
