Abstract
Pumpkin Shengzhen 1 was used as rootstock for melon Yumeiren in this experiment,and the own-root plant was used as control.The effect of grafting on photosynthesis characteristics,yield and sugar content in melon were studied.The results showed that grafting had positive effect on expanding leaf area,increasing branch growth and promoting dry weight accumulation in various organs during melon development.However,the effect of grafting on chlorophyll content in leaves was small.The effects of grafting on the net photosynthetic rate of functional leaf,transpiration rate,stomatal conductance and intercellular CO2 concentration were also small in each developing stage.Therefore,the photosynthetic rate of grafting plant increased mainly due to expanding total leaf area of melon plant.ZT,GAs and ABA concentrations in xylem sap were lower than that in own-root plant.However,ZT and GAs contents were higher than that of the control but ABA decreased.In addition,the effect of grafting on yield was positive.Average weight of single fruit and yield per hm2 of grafted melon were higher than that of the own-root melons.
