“…Additionally, free lipids such as lycospc and its derivatives, monoacylglycerol [ 15 ], and its derivatives increase several folds in response to grafting. Substantial increase in the content of total fatty acids, total lipids, and total unsaponated lipids in the roots and leaves of watermelon and tomato after grafting was recorded [ 82 ]. Major non-enzymatic antioxidants that are associated with the glutathione metabolic pathway includes glutathione, GSH, γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine.…”

Grafting has been reported as a factor regulating the metabolome of a plant. Therefore, a comprehensive metabolic profile and comparative analysis of metabolites were conducted from fully mature fruit of pumpkin-grafted watermelon (PGW) and a self-rooted watermelon (SRW). Widely targeted LC-ESI-MS/MS metabolomics approach facilitated the simultaneous identification and quantification of 339 metabolites across PGW and SRW. Regardless of grafting, delta-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride, sucrose, mannose-6-phosphate (carbohydrates), homocystine, 2-phenylglycine, s-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (amino acids and derivatives), malic, azelaic, H-butanoic acid ethyl ester-hexoside isomer 1, (organic acids), MAG (18:3) isomer1, LysoPC 16:0, LysoPC 18:2 2n isomer (lipids) p-coumaric acid, piperidine, and salicylic acid-o-glycoside (secondary metabolites) were among the dominant metabolite. Dulcitol, mono-, and disaccharide sugars were higher in PGW, while polysaccharides showed complex behavior. In PGW, most aromatic and nitrogen-rich amino acids accumulated greater than 1.5- and 1-fold, respectively. Intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), stress-related metabolites, vitamin B5, and several flavonoids were significantly more abundant in PGW. Most lipids were also significantly higher in grafted watermelon. This is the first report providing a comprehensive picture of watermelon metabolic profile and changes induced by grafting. Hence, the untargeted high-throughput LC-ESI-MS/MS metabolomics approach could be suitable to provide significant differences in metabolite contents between grafted and ungrafted plants.

“…It is expected that rootstocks should absorb more nutrients than control plants because they develop strong roots, and they have higher capability on absorbing more nutrients, whereas findings differ according to studies. For example, Mohammed et al (2009) found that grafted plants have more macro and micro nutrients in their leaves. Djidonou and Zhao (2010) stated that tomato builds up have more macro and micro nutrients in early harvests, but there is no difference between grafted and nongrafted plants in late harvests.…”

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.
