“…For instance, Doñas-Uclés et al (2014) demonstrated an increase in fruit weight when cv. Palermo was grafted onto the C. annuum rootstock ‘Tesor,’ whereas the use of rootstocks ‘Oscos’ and ‘AR40’ incurred a minimal increase in fruit weight.…”

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.

“…However, among these vegetables, grafting is a less common practice in peppers, probably because commercial rootstocks provide modest profits [ 12 , 13 ]. Several scientific reports have reported the effects of rootstock on pepper fruit quality, such as morphometric and yield characteristics [ 14 , 15 ], sweetness/acidity [ 16 , 17 ], or levels of functional compounds [ 18 , 19 ]. Another peculiarity of pepper is its aroma [ 20 ], which has become a quality parameter for consumers [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Effect of Grafting on the Production, Physico-Chemical Characteristics and Nutritional Quality of Fruit from Pepper Landraces

et al. 2020

Grafting is a widely utilized agronomical technique to improve yield, disease resistance, and quality of fruit and vegetables. This work aims to assess the effect of grafting and fruit ripening on the production, physico-chemical characteristics, and nutritional quality of fruit from Spanish local pepper landraces. Landraces “Cuerno,” “Sueca,” and “Valencia” were used as scions, and “NIBER®” as the rootstock. Two ripening stages of the fruits were sampled: green and red. Grafting improved the yield and marketable quality and did not negatively influence the physico-chemical and nutritional characteristics of the fruit. It was noteworthy that the bioactive compound contents and antioxidant capacity were more related to maturity stage and genotype, and red fruit had a higher antioxidant capacity than green fruit. However, in all the scions, grafting significantly enhanced lycopene content in both red and green fruit. Another important effect of grafting was the volatile compound composition evidenced by discriminant analyses, which was characterized for the first time in the fruit of these landraces. The rootstock and scion combination could be a way to improve not only the production, but also the fruit quality of peppers.

“…The lowest yield in non-grafted plants was due to the decrease in fruit mean mass and number of fruits per plant (COLLA et al, 2006). In the grafted plants more yield was reported in some vegetables such as pepper (GISBERT et al, 2010;DONAS-UCLES et al, 2014), melon (RICÁRDEZ-SALINAS et al, 2010), tomato (IBRAHIM et al, 2001) and watermelon (MIGUEL et al, 2004; YETISIR and SARI, 2019). Concerning fruit dry matter, significantly highest fruit dry matter was produced by 'ERÜ 1227' grafted onto 'Scarface' rootstock followed by non-grafted control plants of 'ERÜ 1227', while the lowest was shown by the 'ERÜ 1227' grafted onto '46 KB F1' rootstock and '33 H-3-1' grafted onto 'Scarface' rootstock (Table 1).…”

“…However, the use of grafting in pepper plants is not as common as in the rest of horticultural species mainly due to the lack of commercial rootstocks that perform satisfactorily (LEE et al, 2010), in spite of the fact that the use of appropriate rootstocks can be an alternative strategy to avoid or reduce yield losses caused by environmental stresses (SINGH et al, 2017). So far, slight attention has been paid to the effect of grafting and rootstocks on grafted pepper vegetative growth, fruiting characteristics and yield has been investigated in few studies and with only a limited number of rootstocks (TSABALLA et al, 2013;DONAS-UCLES et al, 2014;SOLTAN et al, 2017). For all these reasons, the use of pepper grafted plants is not yet widely implemented in Turkey.…”

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the rootstock effects on the fruit and seed yield and leaf nutrient contents of pepper, four pepper inbred lines (ER? 1227 and ER? 462: Long fruited green pepper type; 21 H-1-2 and 33 H-3-1: Bell shaped pepper type) were grafted onto two pepper rootstock genotypes (46 KB F1 and Scarface F1). The non-grafted scion genotypes were used as control plants. Between grafted and non-grafted plants significant (p<0.001) differences were found in fruit yield, dry matter, diameter, length and fruit number, seed yield, thousand seed weight and leaf P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn and Zn contents. Among the graft combinations, significantly higher fruit yield, dry matter, length of long fruited green pepper genotypes, leaf K content was observed when ?ER? 1227? grafted onto ?Scarface? rootstock; significantly higher Ca and Mn contents were recorded when ?ER? 462? grafted onto ?Scarface? rootstocks. Whereas, significantly highest fruit number and diameter of long fruited green pepper genotypes was recorded at the non-grafted plants of ?ER? 1227?. Overall, the pepper rootstock genotype ?Scarface? showed a better performance for fruit yield, dry matter, length of long fruited green pepper genotypes, fruit diameter of bell shaped pepper genotypes, K, Ca, Mg and Mn contents in leaf tissue, thousand seed weight in different graft combinations as compared to non-grafted pepper plants. All these suggest that the powerful rootstocks, which might be characterized by an efficient nutrient uptake, play a major role in improvement of plant growth performance, fruit, and seed yield.
