Abstract
Plant grafting can provide resistance to nematodes. There is a distinct need to determine the role of Meloidogyne incognita-resistant rootstocks on the growth and quality of grafted cucumber plants. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivar Jinchun No. 4 (J) was hole grafted onto the pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) cultivars Xiuli (X), Banzhen No. 3 (B), and its root to generate JX, JB, and JJ plants. The histopathology and M. incognita development associated with JX, JB, and JJ were analyzed under incubator and high plastic tunnel conditions. Under incubator conditions, M. incognita root galls and egg mass indices associated with the JX and JB resistant rootstocks were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those associated with JJ susceptible rootstocks. In addition, the number of eggs were 73.3 ± 8.8% and 85.3 ± 7.7% less, respectively. The number of second-stage juveniles (J2s) in JX roots decreased by 57.1 ± 9.2% compared with that in JJ, and the giant cell and J2 development were poor in JX and JB roots. In pot experiments under a high plastic tunnel, plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, and yield of M. incognita-infected JX plants were not significantly different from those of noninoculated control. There was no significant difference in fruit weight, length, firmness, soluble solids, and color among the three grafted plants. The yield per JB plant was increased compared with that of JJ, irrespective of nematode presence. In the M. incognita-infested soil experiment in a high plastic tunnel, the yield per JX and JB plant were significantly higher than JJ (P < 0.05). Thus, the pumpkin rootstock Xiuli and Banzhen No. 3 are promising rootstocks for managing M. incognita without affecting cucumber fruit quality. Grafting provides a good basis for studying the defense mechanism of rootstocks against M. incognita.
