Grafting is a technique that provides a substantial way to enhance nutrient utilization thereby improves plant growth and yield quality. Although it is commonly practised in horticultural crops, the impact of scion-rootstock interaction on nutrient distribution is still unclear. Here, 'Newhall' navel orange plants grafted on Trifoliate orange (T) as the original rootstock were inarched with trifoliate orange (N/Tt combination) or carrizo citrange (N/Tc combination) rootstock seedlings. The experimental plants were treated with isotope B solution for 7 weeks to investigate the effect of different inarched rootstocks on B distribution and translocation by using a two-root system. From this study, the original rootstock played a more dominant role in B distribution to scion tissues than the inarching rootstock either in N/Tt or N/Tc combination. From inarched combinations, the carrizo citrange in the N/Tc combination had a higher ability to distribute B to new leaves, new twigs and old twigs than trifoliate orange in the N/Tt combination. However, the original rootstock of N/Tt distributed more B to scion tissues than N/Tc and the B concentration in old leaves and new leaves of N/Tt plants was significantly higher than that of N/Tc plants. These results suggest that scion B status is influenced by the B distribution of two inarching rootstocks in an inarching plant, as well as the affinity between the inarching rootstock and grafted plant. In addition, by either adding B to the inarching rootstock or original rootstock, we could detect B in the other rootstock root in both N/Tt and N/Tc combinations. The results further suggest that B can translocate from rootstock to leaves and then, re-translocate from scion to rootstock through the cycling of B transportation.

Article Synopsis
  • - Citrus-associated rhabdovirus (CiaRV), a virus first identified in China in 2021, was studied using budwood from an asymptomatic kumquat plant grown in Australia, leading to the propagation of a daughter tree for further analysis.
  • - Researchers extracted RNA from the green bark tissue of the daughter plant and utilized high-throughput sequencing to generate over 128 million raw data reads, which were subsequently analyzed to identify viral contigs.
  • - The analysis revealed significant genetic similarities between the identified contigs and known CiaRV isolates, confirming the presence of the virus in the sample through various primer sets, resulting in the determination of a consensus genome sequence.
