Perspectives of grafting in Solanaceous vegetables: A review

Abstract

Vegetables are nutritionally rich, high-valued crops and remunerative enough to replace subsistence farming. However, vegetables especially Solanaceous vegetables are highly sensitive to biotic and sudden irregularities in weather factors at any phase of crop growth can affect the normal growth, flowering, fruit development and subsequently the yield. Grafting in vegetable has emerged as a promising surgical alternative over relatively slow conventional breeding methods aimed at increasing tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses thus enabling expansion of commercial production of vegetable in problematic soils. Accordingly, the aim of the current review is to reassess the perspective of grafting in above said group of vegables.

“…Furthermore, other researchers reported that rootstocks had excellent effects on scion growth. They found that grafting increased nutrients and mineral uptake, tolerance to stresses, synthesis, and translocation of water and plant hormones (Kroggel and Kubota 2017, Noor et al 2019, and Shiwani 2020. It has been documented those rootstocks improved vegetative growth and significantly increased Egypt.…”
