Grafting Effects on Vegetable Quality (2008, background): “Grafting influences absorption and translocation of phosphorus, nitrogen, magnesium, and calcium (Gluscenko and Drobkov, 1952; Ikeda et al., 1986; Kim and Lee, 1989; Pulgar et al., 2000; Ruiz et al., 1997).”
Yield, Mineral Composition, Water Relations, and Water Use Efficiency of Grafted Mini-watermelon Plants Under Deficit Irrigation (2008, background): “…al., 2003) temperatures and against iron chlorosis in calcareous soils (Romera et al., 1991) and to enhance nutrient uptake and mineral nutrition (Pulgar et al., 2000; Ruiz et al., 1997), increase synthesis of endogenous hormones (Proebsting et al., 1992), reduce uptake of persistent organic…”
Defense Mechanisms Involved in Disease Resistance of Grafted Vegetables (2012, background): “In addition, foliar nitrate concentrations were lower in grafted watermelons and melons accompanied by higher nitrate reductase activities in comparison with self-rooted plants, which suggests an elevated level of nitrogen assimilation in grafted plants (Pulgar et al., 2000; Ruiz and Romero, 1999).”
