The influence of Marianna GF 8-1, GF 677, Julior-Ferdor, Nemared, Monegro (G x N 9), Felinem (G x N 22), Adesoto 101 and Cadaman rootstocks on fruit quality of 'Pioneer' Japanese plum was analysed. The study was performed during three consecutive years in the Guadalquivir Valley (Seville, Spain), on a silt loam and calcareous soil. Colour, fruit size, fruit and stone weights, hardness, soluble solid concentration and acidity were measured for fruit quality evaluation. In general, the effect of the different rootstocks on most of the analysed quality parameters was variable because a strong interaction rootstock x year was observed. However, several parameters as fruit shape, soluble solid concentration, acidity and maturity seem to be harder conditioned in some rootstocks, did not show significant differences year-by-year. Fruits produced on scions grafted on Marianna and Nemared showed the highest soluble solid concentration and Cadaman the lowest, the last also originated the hardest fruits and the lowest maturity.
