Discussion

T o b i a s Mar 8, 2014:
Absent further context, may be irrelevant.
T o b i a s Mar 8, 2014:
Wording Appears to date to around 2004, and is fairly general. I don't see how one can be sure whether it's 'increase' or 'foundation'.

T o b i a s Mar 6, 2014:
It might be useful to post some information about the type of plant involved.

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : Thanks very much for the glossary, but I think this term is too specific. It doesn't match the definition provided by the asker.

Stems of the mother plant are covered in a growing medium in various ways

Peer comment(s):

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : The definition refers to a block of first-generation propagated plants, not the original mother plant. (This is really a "disagree," but I don't like to check the "disagree" box.)

foundation block

From the same glossary posted by Sarah. The definition is:

A foundation block is a planting of a group of mother plants from sources that have been tested for viruses or other diseases and are maintained in isolation under conditions that prevent (re)infection and tested regularly for pathogens identified on a regional basis. In most NCPN-crop certification standards, **these blocks are considered Generation 1 (G1) stock** within the meaning of the ‘Generation level’ concept recommended by the NAPPO Guidelines.

Definition of Generation level:

Generation, or, Generation level (G level)
‘Generation’ or ‘G-level’ signifies the degree to which plant stock is related to the original virus-tested plant material. Regulations developed by certification programs specify the conditions under which each Generation level must be maintained in order to qualify for the program.

Definition of Generation 1:
Generation 1 (G1) refers to the original mother plants (nuclear or foundation material) that are tested for viruses of concern and maintained in isolation in the foundation block in order to prevent (re)infection. G1 stock is the original source of virus-tested plant material that is distributed to nurseries, growers or other interested parties within certification programs, such as those for grapes, hops, berries, citrus, fruit and nut trees.

Now, the original definition doesn't refer to testing for viruses, but that is the reason why they are separated into a block, and the article in question is referring to the contamination of a block of plants.

Reference:

Scion/stock

Perhaps this article will help.

In most cases, one plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion or cion.[1] The scion contains the desired genes to be duplicated in future production by the stock/scion plant.
