Grafting is a process that involves, the choice of rootstock and scion species; creation of a graft union by physical manipulation; healing of the union; and acclimation of the grafted plant. Grafting a susceptible scion onto a resistant rootstock can provide a resistant cultivar without the prolonged screening and selection required to breed resistance into a cultivar. Furthermore, grafting allows rapid response to new pathogen races, and, in the short-term, provides a less expensive and more flexible solution for controlling soilborne diseases than breeding new resistant cultivars. In addition, grafting may enhance tolerance to abiotic stresses, increase yield, and result in more efficient water and nutrient use; extend harvest periods, and improve fruit yield and quality.
