“…Because of these combined advantages, grafting Solanum torvum with Kashi Anupam is the best way to increase TSS content while improving flavour and nutritional value. Similar result were reported by Pugalendhi et al, 2021 [16] , Sharma et al, 2019 [20] , Singh et al, 2019 and Walubengo et al, 2022 [23] .…”

“…Previous studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the effect of grafting on fruit quality traits of tomato. No significant effects of grafting on tomato fruit quality such as TSS, titratable acidity, and vitamin C compared with the nongrafted plants were observed (Jenkins et al 2022;Walubengo et al 2022). Conversely, grafting improved the fruit quality of tomato, including firmness, TSS, vitamin C, and pH, in other studies (Mahmoud 2020;Oztekin and Tuzel 2017).…”

“…Furthermore, stressed plants might have others strategies for improving plant tolerance to heat stress, including the strength of their growth and spread of the root system (Peng et al 2020), strength of adhesion between the rootstock and scion (Rasool et al 2020), and physiological and biochemical responses as chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), electrolyte leakage, MDA content, antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and peroxidase), and total soluble protein contents, as well as some hormones such as abscisic acid, phasic acid, salicylic acid, indoleacetic acid, jasmonic acid, jasmonic acid-isoleucine and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (Balfag on et al 2022;Lee et al 2023). These factors might be controlled by a hormonal signal from the rootstock to the scion (Walubengo et al 2022;Zhou et al 2022).…”

Grafting can be a useful technology to improve productivity of vegetable crops, including tomato, particularly under the serious challenges of climate change for agricultural systems. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of some local tomato interspecific hybrid rootstocks along with Maxifort on the vegetative growth, productivity, and fruit quality of tomato under field production conditions. Heat-tolerant tomato hybrid 023 F1 was used as a scion over the two late summer seasons of 2021 and 2022. Grafting 023 F1 onto Maxifort or KFS-16 rootstocks resulted in the maximum plant growth. Similarly, Maxifort and KFS-16 rootstocks significantly increased the fruit setting percentage from 22.2% to 23.5% and 17.8% to 24.6%, total fruit yield from 33.5% to 53.7% and 29.6% to 51.6%, and marketable yields from 34.1% to 56.0% and 27.3% to 56.7%, respectively, during both seasons compared with nongrafted plants. These two rootstocks enhanced nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) uptake compared with nongrafted planted. However, grafting with the interspecific hybrid rootstocks (KFS-8 and KWS-9) significantly decreased the content of catalase, peroxidase, and proline, which might be associated with lower plant vigor and yield in these rootstocks. All rootstocks had an impact on fruit chemical composition; however, generally, Maxifort and KFS-16 had greater contents of vitamin C, β-carotene, and total antioxidants than nongrafted plants. KFS-16 had also greater lycopene content than nongrafted plants. These results demonstrate the potential use of Maxifort and local rootstock KFS-16 to boost the growth and yield of tomato plants under high-temperature stress in the late summer season.

“…In watermelon, grafting onto selected bottle gourd genotypes and triploid watermelon onto zucchini squash and cushaw pumpkin rootstocks led to an 11-27% increase in lycopene content. 117,118 By contrast, grafting did not affect the lycopene content in a study by Walubengo et al 119 The use of specific rootstock varieties also impacted the fruit quality, with tomato 'Profitto' grafted onto the 'Beaufort' rootstock showing higher phenolic acid content than non-grafted plants. 120 Furthermore, the genotype of the rootstock and rootstock-scion combinations significantly impacted the fruit quality, as evidenced by the higher ascorbic acid content in tomato plants grafted onto 'Beaufort' rootstock compared to 'Arnold'.…”

BACKGROUNDPrevious research has established that using high‐quality planting material during the early phase of vegetable production significantly impacts success and efficiency, leading to improved crop performance, faster time to harvest and better profitability. In the present study, we conducted a global analysis of vegetable seedlings and transplants, providing a comprehensive overview of research trends in seedling and transplant production to enhance the nutritional quality of vegetables.RESULTSThe analysis involved reviewing and quantitatively analysing 762 articles and 5248 keywords from the Scopus database from 1971 to 2022. We used statistical, mathematical and clustering tools to analyse bibliometrics and visualise the most relevant research topics. A visualisation map was generated to identify the evolution of keywords used in the articles, resulting in five clusters for further analysis. Our study highlights the importance of the size of seed trays for the type of crop, the mechanical seeder used and the greenhouse facilities to produce desirable transplants. We identified grafting and light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting technology as rapidly expanding technologies in vegetable seedlings and transplant production used to promote plant qualitative profile.CONCLUSIONThere is a need for sustainable growing media to optimise resources and reduce input use. Thus, applying grafting, LED artificial lighting, biostimulants, biofortification and plant growth‐promoting microorganisms in seedling production can enhance efficiency and promote sustainable vegetable nutritional quality by accumulating biocompounds. Further research is needed to explore the working mechanisms and devise novel strategies to enhance the product quality of vegetables, commencing from the early stages of food production. © 2024 The Authors.
