This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on optimising
rootstock health. The first chapter explores optimising rootstock
health to improve root function, resource-use efficiency,
sustainability and agricultural productivity. The chapter also
presents a case study on tomato rootstocks as a viable strategy to
overcome abiotic stresses in Ghana. The second chapter reviews the
important aspects of tree growth and development in apple
production which are integral to ensure product quality. The
chapter discusses the importance of rootstocks and emphasises the
mechanisms and morphological effects of dwarfing on rootstocks. The
third chapter considers recent advances in the development and
utilisation of fruit tree rootstocks, focussing primarily on
apples. The chapter also reviews rootstock tolerance to both
abiotic and biotic stresses. The fourth chapter discusses advances
in avocado tissue culture for clonal propagation and highlights the
potential of this technology for improving the sustainable supply
of high-quality avocado plants to support future avocado industry
growth. The final chapter addresses the challenges and
opportunities in pear breeding, focussing on pear cultivars, pear
rootstocks and germplasm resources. The chapter also considers the
use of dwarfing as a means of improving particular traits.
