“…Moreover, as Riga et al (2016) demonstrated, the comparison of the grafting combination to either the non-grafted or self-grafted scion is very important. According to several authors, lycopene concentration in tomato fruits tends to decrease with grafting (Helyes et al, 2009; Brajović et al, 2012; Nicoletto et al, 2013b); e.g., most out of 15 rootstocks investigated, including ‘Maxifort,’ ‘Beaufort,’ and ‘King Kong,’ decreased the fruit lycopene concentration of tomato scion ‘Jeremy’ and ‘Jack’ (Miskovic et al, 2009; Riga et al, 2016). Similar results have been reported for tomato scion ‘Cecilia’ grafted onto ‘Beaufort’ and ‘Heman’ (Mohammed et al, 2009), for scion ‘Macarena’ grafted onto ‘Maxifort’ (Gajc-Wolska et al, 2010), as well as for ‘Classy’ grafted onto ‘Brigeor’ (Krumbein and Schwarz, 2013; Schwarz et al, 2013).…”

“…Fruit vitamin C content was reduced in soil cultivation of different tomato scions grafted onto ‘Heman,’ ‘Spirit,’ ‘Arnold,’ ‘Beaufort’ (Qaryouti et al, 2007; Turhan et al, 2011) and in hydroponics using ‘Maxifort,’ ‘Interpro,’ or ‘King Kong’ rootstocks (Riga et al, 2016). The lower ascorbic acid content could be explained by the higher plant/shoot biomass in grafted plants compared with non-grafted ones or by the fact that grafted plants were initially subjected to stress following the grafting operation.…”

Vegetable Grafting: The Implications of a Growing Agronomic Imperative for Vegetable Fruit Quality and Nutritive Value

et al. 2017

Grafting has become an imperative for intensive vegetable production since chlorofluorocarbon-based soil fumigants were banned from use on grounds of environmental protection. Compelled by this development, research into rootstock–scion interaction has broadened the potential applications of grafting in the vegetable industry beyond aspects of soil phytopathology. Grafting has been increasingly tapped for cultivation under adverse environs posing abiotic and biotic stresses to vegetable crops, thus enabling expansion of commercial production onto otherwise under-exploited land. Vigorous rootstocks have been employed not only in the open field but also under protected cultivation where increase in productivity improves distribution of infrastructural and energy costs. Applications of grafting have expanded mainly in two families: the Cucurbitaceae and the Solanaceae, both of which comprise major vegetable crops. As the main drives behind the expansion of vegetable grafting have been the resistance to soilborne pathogens, tolerance to abiotic stresses and increase in yields, rootstock selection and breeding have accordingly conformed to the prevailing demand for improving productivity, arguably at the expense of fruit quality. It is, however, compelling to assess the qualitative implications of this growing agronomic practice for human nutrition. Problems of impaired vegetable fruit quality have not infrequently been associated with the practice of grafting. Accordingly, the aim of the current review is to reassess how the practice of grafting and the prevalence of particular types of commercial rootstocks influence vegetable fruit quality and, partly, storability. Physical, sensorial and bioactive aspects of quality are examined with respect to grafting for watermelon, melon, cucumber, tomato, eggplant, and pepper. The physiological mechanisms at play which mediate rootstock effects on scion performance are discussed in interpreting the implications of grafting for the configuration of vegetable fruit physicochemical quality and nutritive value.

“…Under shading, Krumbein et al [11], reported that tomato yield was significantly reduced thus, the commercial rootstocks were not able to enhance the yield reduction. Grafting tomato often results in significant increase in fruit weight and consequently in fruit diameter and size compared with non or self-grafted plants [16,42]. However, yield gain may be also attributed to an increase in the number of fruits rather than an increase in mean fruit weight [24].…”

“…According to several authors, lycopene concentration in tomato fruits tends to decrease with grafting [31][32][33], e.g. most out of 15 rootstocks investigated, including 'Maxifort,' 'Beaufort,' and 'King Kong,' decreased the fruit lycopene concentration of tomato scion 'Jeremy' and 'Jack' [41,42]. Similar results have been reported for tomato scion 'Cecilia' grafted onto 'Beaufort' and 'Heman' [30], for scion 'Macarena' grafted onto 'Maxifort' [34], as well as for 'Classy' grafted onto 'Brigeor' [11,45].…”

In the present study, tomato (grafted and nongrafted) was grown in the soil under net-house cover by pearl and red nets (50% shade index) or un-shade condition (open field-control). Commercial tomato cultivars ('Optima F1' and 'Big Beef F1') were used to determine whether grafting (Maxifort rootstock) could prevent decrease of fruit weight and quality under light stress conditions. Nongrafted 'Optima F1' and 'Big Beef F1' was used as a control plants. Total yield of grafted plants was higher (51.0%) than non-grafted only in 'Optima F1'. Shading maintained 30-40% higher marketable yield (reduced the amount of pysiological disorders) than plants from non-shaded conditions in both cultivars. Among the fruit components, lycopene, ascorbic acid, phenols, total sugar and citric acids concentrations and ratio of sugar and acid content were examined. In every case the values of these parameters were lower in the fruits from grafted plants than those from ungrafted ones, meaning that the increase of the yield quantity caused the decrease of main fruit components. The decrease of bioactive compounds had a similar trend and intensity, though some inter-color shade variation was observed. Fruits from shading plants under red nets obtained highest lycopene content in both grafted and non-grafted plants.

“…Recently, Riga et al, (2016) tested grafted and un-grafted tomato Jack F1 under low temperature conditions 12/18°C night/day, and the vent opening temperatures were 20/22°C night/day. The concentrations of serotonin contents in grafted rootstocks were significantly lower than in the ungrafted and self-grafted controls.…”

This study was conducted to examine the relative tolerance of grafted watermelon to sub-optimal growing temperature conditions. Watermelon cv. Aswan scions were grafted onto different rootstocks, namely Giada, Shintoza, StrongToza, and Ferro. Grafted and un-grafted seedlings were grown in the field under low temperature during Jan.-Apr. to be compared to those growing under normal warm season conditions (Mar.-Jun.). Results indicated significant decrease in growth, yield, chlorophyll, and carotenoids in all grafted plants, in different degrees, depending on the graft combination. In this regards, plants of Aswan/Ferro recorded more than double the marketable yield of ungrafted ones under sub-optimal temperature, indicating the relative tolerance of Aswan/Ferro to cold stress. While, ungrafted plants exhibited the highest decline in all growth and yield parameters. Leaf proline content and the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) were higher under cold stress than the control. It is concluded that grafted watermelon plants were relatively tolerant to sub-optimal temperature than un-grafted ones which could enable the production of out of season crop.
