“…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).…”

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

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.

“…De même, dans certaines régions côtières méditerranéennes, les tomates arrosées avec des eaux saumâtres ont une meilleure qualité organoleptique. L'effet du porte-greffe sur la qualité des tomates est assez controversé ; des travaux récents ne mettent pas en évidence d'effet notable sur la qualité nutritionnelle des fruits (Khah et al, 2006 ;Miskovié et al, 2008 ;Di Gioia et al, 2010). Les travaux de Miskovié et al (2008) qui ont testé l'hybride Jeremy avec 7 porte-greffes distincts, dont Maxifort, au cours de trois années successives, ont montré qu'il n'y a pas de variation des principaux constituants biochimiques, à l'exception du lycopène.…”

“…D'autres études tendent à montrer que l'effet du porte-greffe sur la qualité nutritionnelle des fruits dépend du génotype du greffon (Santa-Cruz et al, 2002 ;Martinez-Rodriguez et al, 2008). Il est par ailleurs souligné que le porte-greffe n'a pas nécessairement d'effet sur le rendement par rapport au même hybride non greffé (Miskovié et al, 2008). Cette étude vise à préciser les impacts de deux solutions nutritives à salinité plus ou moins élevée sur la qualité organoleptique et le rendement de deux hybrides greffés sur Maxifort et cultivés sous serre hors-sol.…”

Influence de la salinité sur la qualité gustative et le rendement de tomates greffées cultivées hors-sol sous serre chauffée dans le Sud de la France Pour citer cet article : Fabre R, Duval M, Jeannequin B, 2011. Influence de la salinité sur la qualité gustative et le rendement de tomates greffées cultivées hors-sol sous serre chauffée dans le Sud de la France. Cah Agric 20 : 266-73. Résumé L'effet de deux niveaux de salinité contenus dans la solution nutritive sur la qualité organoleptique de tomates et sur les performances agronomiques a été étudié au cours d'une culture précoce. Deux hybrides, l'un de type « longue conservation » et l'autre de type « courte conservation » ont été cultivés sous serre et sur substrat avec recyclage des solutions de drainage. La production a été contrôlée quantitativement et qualitativement, et les fruits soumis au jugement d'un panel de consommateurs à deux périodes. D'une manière générale, l'indice réfractométrique et l'acidité totale sont affectés par des niveaux de salinité élevée. Ils augmentent significativement quels que soient la saison et l'hybride testés, à l'exception de l'acidité totale pour l'hybride de type courte conservation au printemps. La fermeté est peu affectée par l'augmentation des niveaux de salinité ; en revanche, il existe un effet variétal significatif. Parallèlement, les consommateurs ont détecté des différences et ont préféré les fruits produits à forte salinité quel que soit l'hybride testé. Quand la salinité augmente, le nombre de fruits produits ne varie pas mais le poids moyen et la taille des fruits diminuent significativement. Pour conclure, il est possible d'améliorer la qualité intrinsèque des tomates produites hors-sol sous serres chauffées en zone méditerranéenne en augmentant les niveaux de salinité, que l'hybride soit de type longue ou courte conservation. Ce type de conduite culturale est possible en recyclant le drainage mais il réduit le rendement d'environ 20 %.

AbstractEffect of the salinity on the organoleptic quality and yield of early-grown soilless grafted tomatoes under heated glasshouses in the south of FranceThe effect of two salinity levels in the nutrient solution on the organoleptic quality and yields of tomatoes was studied in an early crop. Two hybrids, one a ''long shelf-life'' type, the other a ''short shelf-life'' type, were grown in a glasshouse with a soilless system recycling the drainage solutions. Production was monitored quantitatively and qualitatively. The fruits were assessed at two periods by a panel of consumers. Overall, high salinity levels affected the total soluble solid contents (TSS) and the titrable acidity. Both increased significantly no matter what the season or hybrid tested, with the exception of the titrable acidity for the short shelf-life hybrid in the spring. Firmness was affected little by an increase in salinity levels;...

“…Similarly, the 'El Cid' tomato grafted onto interspecific hybrid rootstock 'Multifort' obtained a 12.9% increase in fruit yield [40]. Significant decrease of the yield and number of fruits was observed when eggplant rootstock was used [41].…”

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.
