dc.description.resumoEmbolism resistance of xylem tissue varies among species and is an important trait related to drought resistance, with anatomical attributes like pit membrane thickness playing an important role in avoiding embolism spread. Grafted Citrus trees are commonly grown in orchards, with the rootstock being able to affect the drought resistance of the whole plant. Here, we evaluated how rootstocks affect the vulnerability to embolism resistance of the scion using several rootstock/scion combinations. Scions of ‘Tahiti’ acid lime, ‘Hamlin’, ‘Pera’ and ‘Valencia’ oranges grafted on a ‘Rangpur’ lime rootstock exhibit similar vulnerability to embolism. In field-grown trees, measurements of leaf water potential did not suggest significant embolism formation during the dry season, while stomata of Citrus trees presented an isohydric response to declining water availability. When ‘Valencia’ orange scions were grafted on ‘Rangpur’ lime, ‘IAC 1710’ citrandarin, ‘Sunki Tropical’ mandarin or ‘Swingle’ citrumelo rootstocks, variation in intervessel pit membrane thickness of the scion was found. The ‘Rangpur’ lime rootstock, which is known for its drought resistance, induced thicker pit membranes in the scion, resulting in higher embolism resistance than the other rootstocks. Similarly, the rootstock ‘IAC 1710’ citrandarin generated increased embolism resistance of the scion, which is highly relevant for citriculture.
