3.Screening of guava wilt-resistant genotypes and evaluation of scion performance affected by related-species rootstocks in guava Grafting is the main technique for vegetative propagation of guava in Taiwan. However, the effect of the rootstock genotype used, especially wild species, on the performance of scion cultivar remains under exploration and requires more systematic evaluation. In view of the widespread occurrence of guava wilt, resistant cultivars or rootstocks might provide a feasible solution. This project will investigate the influence of wild species rootstocks on field performance of the main cultivar scion, including plant growth vigor and fruit quality. In addition, the difference of resistance against guava wilt among open-pollinated seedlings and intra- or inter-specific hybrids will be evaluated. We hope to select genotypes with better resistance to guava wilt. These genotypes can be used as parental lines for resistance breeding or rootstocks. |
