“…It is considered that they originated from differences in genotype and ecology. Pogonyi et al (2005); Khah et al (2006); Martorana et al (2007) and Ulukapi and Onus (2007) showed that rootstocks have no influence or little bit on Vitamin C, water soluble dry matter and titratable acidity. Their findings agree with our results.…”

Using of grafted plants provides a stability and tolerance against biotic and abiotic stress factors in tomato cultivation and increases yield and quality that depend on vigour of rootstocks. This study was conducted to determine the effects of different rootstocks on yield, quality and nutrient contents of grafted tomatoes in soilless culture. In the experiment, cv. Yankı F 1 and cv. Esin Fı were used as plant material. Groundforce, Spirit F 1 , ES30501, ES30502, ES30503, body, Beaufort, Titron, 8411, R801 and K-8 were used as a rootstock. Nongrafted and selfgrafted plants were used as control treatments. Marketable yield was obtained increasing rate by 13.85 to 32.73% according to nongrafted and selfgrafted plants. Vitamin C, water soluble dry matter and titratable acidity were not affected significantly by rootstocks. Similarly, use of grafted plants did not affect the nutrient content of tomato fruits significantly.

“…The response of grafting on growth and fruit yield was positive when tomato cultivar 'Cuore di Bue' grafted onto 'Arnold' rootstock, whereas no obvious effect of grafting was observed in this graft combination on fruit quality traits (i.e., total soluble solids, fruit dry matter percentage, titratable acidity and TA) at any of the levels of NaCl (i.e., 0, 20 or 40 mM) added medium [43]. Similarly, grafting 'Durinta' onto 'He-man' rootstock showed promising response for yield traits, especially under high saline medium (8.8 dS m −1 ), but the fruits of this graft combination had low titratable acidity content [15]. Turhan et al [49] have also reported a reduction in the tomato fruit quality in grafted plants than non-grafted plants under salt stress.…”

“…An environmentally friendly, sustainable and effective method is grafting that enables to exploit the benefit of resistant genotypes (as rootstocks) to improve the performance of commercial cultivars (as scion) that are susceptible to (a)biotic stresses [13]. Grafting offers an alternative to breeding and biotechnological approaches to rapidly enhance salt tolerance in vegetable plants [8,11,[14][15][16]. This technique in woody perennial fruit plants has been a routine practice in Asia for more than 2000 years [14].…”

Salinity in soil or water is a serious threat to global agriculture; the expected acreage affected by salinity is about 20% of the global irrigated lands. Improving salt tolerance of plants through breeding is a complex undertaking due to the number of traits involved. Grafting, a surgical mean of joining a scion and rootstock of two different genotypes with the desired traits, offers an alternative to breeding and biotechnological approaches to salt tolerance. Grafting can also be used to circumvent other biotic and abiotic stresses. Increasing salinity tolerance in tomato (Solanum lycopresicum L.), a highly nutritious and economical vegetable, will have greater impact on the vegetable industry, especially in (semi) arid regions where salinity in soil and water are more prevalent. Besides, plants also experience salt stress when water in hydroponic system is recycled for tomato production. Grafting high yielding but salt-susceptible tomato cultivars onto salt-resistant/tolerant rootstocks is a sustainable strategy to overcome saline stress. Selection of salt-tolerant rootstocks though screening of available commercial and wild relatives of tomato under salt stress conditions is a pre-requisite for grafting. The positive response of grafting exerted by tolerant rootstocks or scion-rootstock interactions on yield and fruit characteristics of tomato under saline conditions is attributed to several physiological and biochemical changes. In this review, the importance of tomato grafting, strategies to select appropriate rootstocks, scion-rootstock interaction for growth, yield and quality characteristics, as well as the tolerance mechanisms that (grafted) plants deploy to circumvent or minimize the effects of salt stress in root zones are discussed. The future challenges of grafting tomato are also highlighted.

The positive response of grafting by tolerant rootstocks or scion-stock interactions on yield and fruit traits of tomatoes under saline conditions is attributed to several physiological and biochemical changes. In this study, we investigated some tolerance mechanisms by which grafting on wild rootstocks in tomatoes can prevent or minimize the effects of salt stress in plants under hydroponics conditions. Two tomato cultivars H2274 and Galaxy were grafted onto three S. pimpinellifolium, three S. habrochaites, S. lycopersicum L. × S. pimpinellifolium and S. lycopersicum L. × S. Habrochaites hybrid tomato genotypes. Plants were grown in hydroponic culture at two electrical conductivity (EC) levels (control at 1.5 dSm-1 and salt at 8.0 dSm-1). Salt stress led to a significant reduction in biomass growths of both grafted and nongrafted tomatoes. However, the plants that are least affected by salt stress are those grafted on wild tomato rootstocks. Leaf nutrient contents were significantly affected by rootstocks under both control and salt stress conditions. In this study, under saline conditions, plants grafted on wild rootstocks had higher N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Mn, Fe, Zn and B contents in leaf tissues and lower Na and Cl contents than ungrafted plants. Biochemical and physiological results revealed that S. pimpinellifolium and S. habrochaites have inherited salt tolerance from their genetic background. These wild tomato genotypes can be used as rootstocks in tomato breeding programs to develop salt-tolerant tomatoes or in grafting techniques under saline irrigation conditions.
