GRAFTING ON A FLATTENED STEM SEGMENT

Rootstock cross-section

An elongated arrangement of bundles in a flat stem segment cross-sectionBundles in cross-section

The diagram of a globular stem does not describe every segment. Assess the actual outline and position of the vascular bundles after cutting. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978]

Offsetting a small scion

The small scion ring intersects the rootstock's elongated arrangementPartial contact between the arrangements

In this model, offsetting creates sites of potential union. Aligning the stem edges alone does not prove proper contact. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978]

A top view without a scale. The outlines simplify the spatial network of vascular tissues. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978]

A new treatment of the principle shown in rozmnazanie11 and explained in the archival text on grafting onto an opuntia. The anatomical basis follows Mauseth 2006. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978]
