Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins plant parts from different plants together so they will heal and grow as one plant. This technique is used to propagate plants that do not root well from cuttings, to utilize superior root systems, or to maintain clonal production.
Where propagation by cuttings is not feasible or economical, grafting is done. For fruiting types like apple or pear, scions of several cultivars grafted onto one tree develop into branches that are true to type. Grafting success requires three elements: a) good technique, b) healthy plant material - both scion and rootstock, and c) a sharp knife.
We analyze why plants graft and how biotic and abiotic factors influence successful grafting. We also discuss the ability and inability of plants to graft, and how grafting has transformed both horticulture and fundamental plant science.
27 lut 2023 · Grafting is a traditional horticultural technique that makes use of plant wound healing mechanisms to join two different genotypes together to form one plant.
25 lip 2022 · Grafting allows the combination of advantageous traits (genetic variability) of different plants over a short period of time without breeding and genetic manipulation. It provides an efficient and sustainable approach for crop propagation.
