About
Dr. Emma Cascant-Lopez is a leading researcher in horticultural science, with a primary focus on root system architecture, plant physiology, and the complex interactions between rootstock and scion in fruit trees. Her most cited work, "Root system architecture in reciprocal grafts of apple rootstock-scion combinations" (2016), has garnered 11 citations and represents a significant contribution to understanding how grafting influences root development and overall tree performance. This research, presented at the prestigious XXIX International Horticultural Congress, provides critical insights into the reciprocal signaling between rootstock and scion, offering practical implications for improving apple orchard productivity and resilience. Dr. Cascant-Lopez’s work bridges fundamental plant biology with applied horticulture, helping growers optimize rootstock selection for better nutrient uptake, drought tolerance, and anchorage. Her findings have been instrumental in advancing sustainable fruit production systems, and she continues to be recognized for her meticulous experimental approaches and contributions to perennial crop physiology. For students and researchers in horticulture, her work exemplifies how detailed anatomical and physiological studies can directly inform agricultural practice.
