“…Many plants are difficult to propagate by other techniques; desirable varieties with poor root development are candidates for grafted on strong rootstock (Poincelot, 2004). Furthermore, the use of grafts may also induce tolerance to adverse environmental factors such as salinity (Martinez-Ballesta et al, 2008), drought (Pire et al, 2007) and adverse temperatures (Venema et al, 2008), among others. The grafts also tend to produce stronger plants and yielding (Khah et al, 2006).…”
