Mi.P.A.F. Targeted Project for Evaluation of European and Cino-Japanese Plum Rootstocks in Italy: Results of Six Years of Observations
No full textThe Mi.P.A.F. (Italian Ministry of Agriculture) targeted project “National Lists of Recommended Rootstocks and Cultivars”, coordinated by Prof. F. Loreti, University of Pisa, aims at evaluating the performance of fruit rootstocks introduced into the Italian nursery market. As part of this project, trials were established to compare some of the most interesting rootstocks for European and Japanese plum in 9 different locations in Italy. The rootstocks tested were: ‘Citation-Zaipime’, ‘GF 31’, ‘Marianna GF 8/1’, ‘Ishtara-Ferciana’, ‘Jaspi-Fereley’, ‘Julior-Ferdor’, ‘Myrobalan 29C’, ‘Myrobalan B’, ‘MrS 2/5’ and ‘Myrocal’. In 1995, nine orchards were planted at 5 × 5 m spacing; in each orchard, 15 trees per rootstock, grafted either with ‘Stanley’ European plum (EP) or ‘Ozark Premier’ Japanese plum (JP), and trained to open vase, were randomly distributed in blocks of single tree plots. Locations of the orchards were distributed throughout Italy: two in the North (Cuneo and Forlì), two in the centre (Pisa and Ancona) and five in the South of the peninsula (Caserta, Metaponto, Catanzaro, Palermo and Cagliari). This report highlights the main results obtained after 6 years of growth (3 years of production). Data are summarized either per rootstocks or per location. Both for JP and EP, ‘Myrobalan 29C’ and ‘B’, ‘Marianna GF 8/1’, ‘Julior®-Ferdor’and ‘Jaspi®-Fereley’ showed the best adaptability to the pedo-climatic conditions of the different experimental locations; all by sustaining a quite balanced plant growth and production. ‘Ishtara®-Ferciana’ showed a better capacity to control plant vigour and to increase fruit size. ‘Citation®Zaipime’, ‘GF 31’ and ‘MrS 2/5’ exhibited the lowest aptitude to the Italian plum production system, although there were some exceptions related to particular locations

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa)
No full textGenetic transformation in strawberry (Fragaria spp.) can be achieved by using the Agrobacterium-mediated procedure on leaves from in vitro proliferated shoots. Regardless of the sufficient regeneration levels achieved from leaf explants of some commercial strawberry genotypes, the regeneration of transformed strawberry plants remains difficult and seems to be strongly genotype dependent. In fact, the main factors that play an important role in the success of strawberry genetic transformation are the availability of an efficient regeneration protocol and of an appropriate selection procedure of the putative transgenic shoots. The strawberry genetic transformation protocol herein described relates to three genotypes resulted from our experience with the highest regeneration and transformation efficiency. The study includes two octoploid Fragaria × ananassa cultivars, Sveva and Calypso, and a diploid F. vesca cultivar (Alpina W.O.). All the different steps related to the leaf tissue Agrobacterium infection, coculture, and selection of regenerating adventitious shoots, as well as the following identification of selected lines able to proliferate and root on the selective agent (kanamycin), will be described
