Compatibility Studies on Cashew-Mango Graft Combinations

English

Studies were conducted on the early stages of graft union formation between cashew (rootstock) and mango (scion) using light microscopy and macroscopy examinations. Resin was secreted as the initial wound response a few minutes after wounding, and this contributed to the cohesion of the rootstock and scion. Callus was formed in all tissues damaged. heginning in the cortex areas of the graft partners. At 30 days, the periderm had formed across the union edges. wound edges had sealed, and the cambial linkage between the stock and scion had been restored.
