In stem grafting, a common grafting method, a shoot of a selected, desired plant cultivar is grafted onto the stock of another type.
For millennia, people have cut and joined different plants together through a process known as grafting. Shoots from one plant, known as the scion, are cut and joined to the stem or roots from another plant, known as the stock or rootstock (Figure 1).

Scions for grafting and material for air-layering should usually be taken from new shoots of mature trees. For cuttings, hedged plants are usually the best source of juvenile material. 1
Grafting in horticultural crops can help reveal the basic biology of grafting, the reasons for incompatibility, sensing, and signaling of nutrients, ion uptake and transport, and the mechanism of heavy metal accumulation and restriction in rootstocks.
1 mar 2024 · Plant grafting can increase crop productivity, control pathogens, or alleviate abiotic stress. Scions and rootstocks have an active impact on plant-associated microbiome assembly. Configuring core microbiome through grafting can augment the sustainability of crops. Plant breeding may include microbial-based approaches to improve agronomic traits.
How to graft. Most plants need to be grafted within their own species i.e. Acer palmatum cultivars onto an Acer palmatum rootstock. However, it is sometimes possible to graft within a genus i.e. Acer japonicum, A. circinatum and A. shirasawanum can all be grafted onto Acer palmatum rootstock.
