Abstract

Abstract Comparisons were made of the 45Ca uptake of ‘Redchief Delicious’ apple seedlings (Malus domestica Borkh) grown on ‘York Imperial’ rootstocks with interstocks of ‘Redchief Delicious’, M9 and short, medium and long internode ‘Delicious’ stocks. Seedlings were grown in aerated complete nutrient solutions. Applied 45Ca was readily translocated to rootstocks, interstocks, scions and leaves of M9 and short internode combinations. 45Ca accumulated to a much greater extent in rootstock and the interstock than the scion. Applied 45Ca was translocated much more readily to the bark than to the wood.
