Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect A fatty alcohol rate between 5.00% and 6.25% best controlled rootstock regrowth without causing damage that prevented successful grafting in watermelon.
- Intervention effect After fatty alcohol treatment, rootstocks increased in size and carbohydrate content, with starch showing the most notable increase.
- Intervention effect Starch content of interspecific hybrid squash rootstock hypocotyls increased 193-fold after fatty alcohol treatment.
- Intervention effect Starch content in cotyledons of bottle gourd rootstocks increased 109-fold after fatty alcohol treatment.
- Intervention effect Seven days after fatty alcohol treatment, graft success of bottle gourd rootstocks increased by 10% with the one-cotyledon method.
- Mechanism The increased starch content provided sufficient energy to graft successfully with a new, more efficient method without the rootstock cotyledons.
- Intervention effect In the field, fatty alcohol treatment of rootstocks gave no significant advantage in plant growth or fruit yield of grafted watermelon.
