Abstract

In Mexico, due to the demand for fruit, orchards of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) variety ‘Hass’ of subtropical climate are erroneously established in cold areas, affecting their production; an alternative is to use cold-tolerant rootstocks of the Mexican race, tolerance related to the increase of sugars in areas of demand, which it shares through grafting with the ‘Hass’ variety; therefore, in 2021, the segregants of the ‘rootstocks’ duke 7, tepetl, aceitoso, and colecta 1 were evaluated at the College of Postgraduates; analyzing glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch contents in vegetative shoots at 1, 7, and 14 days of treatment; in chamber 1 (treatment) with luminosity of 380 μmol m-2 s-1 and temperatures with light of 15.61 °C, and darkness of 4.40 °C; and chamber 2 (control) with luminosity of 367 μmol m-2 s-1 and temperatures with light of 23.2 °C, and darkness of 19.29 °C, considering the factor of cold and low luminosity, it was observed that, chlorophyll in the leaves shows growth without photosynthetic deficiency in plants in both chambers; the glucose content of the ‘Hass’ variety varies according to the glucose content in the rootstock; the fructose content increases in grafted and non-grafted materials, acting as an osmoprotectant, the sucrose content increases in the grafted aceitoso material and the starch content is not affected; as a result, duke 7 and tepetl were the materials with the highest concentration of glucose and fructose under cold conditions.
