replies: text: Why is a specific rootstock even included here?  If any should be mentioned at all, wouldn't it be a better idea to include a few different ones from a variety of species?  Unfortunately I have no knowledge at all, or I'd try to do it myself. /85.228.39.204 (talk) 21:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that more rootstocks could be added, but AxR1 is particularly (in)famous and therefore notable because of it's (to some) surprisningly low resistance to Phylloxera. Therefore, a non-technical audience is much more likely to hear of AxR1 than of SO 4 or 41 B - and, yes, most of them tend to go by serial numbers or codes rather than the more pronouncable names of grape varieties.

replies: text: I don't see why an odd rootstock of just one species of the hundreds that are used in grafting should be quoted here at all.  I think this needlessly and inappropriately bulks up a small article.  I propose to remove the whole paragraph soon.  I suggest that if the information is to be kept on Wikipedia, then find a suitable place in vines, or, if it warrents it, a page of its own.  If we want to increase the size of this article- which is not always a good idea, then we should talk more about the history of rootstocks and give more examples of its use in the different species of fruit etc.  Lots of information is available, for example, on the apple pages, which could be summarised and wikilinked from here.
See Malling Series and copy the refs carefully- wiki pages should not be used as refs themselves.
we could have a brief list of the most notable rootstocks which should include the Malling Series of apples.

thread_title: Why just grapes?

message: I've deleted the un-cited section claiming most modern rootstocks were developed from "wild mustang grapes that grow across Texas". Rootstocks are bred from a variety of sources: V. riparia, V. rupestris, V. berlandieri, etc. Perhaps some have parentage from V. mustangensis as well, but to my knowledge this is not predominately the case.
