“…The mechanisms for these opposite responses remain unclear. In other studies, authors did not find any grafting effect on carotenoids (Khah et al, 2006; Vinkovic-Vrcek et al, 2011) of ‘Big Red’ tomato grafted onto ‘Heman’ and ‘Primavera’ ( S. lycopersicum ) under open-field and greenhouse conditions and of ‘Tamaris’ grafted onto ‘Heman,’ ‘Efiato,’ and ‘Maxifort’ always comparing with fruits from non-grafted cultivars.…”

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.

“…Thus, grafting can improve tomato fruit quality most effectively when the selection of the rootstock is compatible. Therefore, as a faster alternative to the relatively slow breeding method currently utilized, grafting commercial tomato cultivars onto a well-matched rootstock could be a promising agricultural tool VinkovicVrcek et al, 2011).…”

“…Grafting is known to improve growth and increase tomato yield Schwarz et al, 2013). However, there are conflicting data on its effects on fruit quality (Davis et al, 2008;Di Gioia et al, 2010;VinkovicVrcek et al, 2011). The use of a suitable rootstock during the grafting process is the key factor in determining the quality of the tomato fruit (Sánchez-Rodríguez et al, 2012).…”

Water deficit in semi-arid areas is the main limiting factor affecting crop production and quality. Suitable strategies for water management, such as water regimes and grafting, can be helpful for the sustainability of agriculture and overcoming drought stress. Responses of two greenhouse-tomato cultivars (Durinta and Valouro F1) grafted onto three rootstocks (Beaufort, Maxifort, and Spirit) to water stress were evaluated using three irrigation water regimes (50, 75, and 100% crop evapotranspiration [ETc]

“…is one of the world's most popular and widely used vegetable crops (Mauromicale et al 2011); in North America, over 40 million grafted tomato seedlings are estimated to be used annually (Kubota et al 2008). The fruits of S. lycopersicum contain valuable nutritional components with antioxidant activity such as vitamin C, carotenoid pigments, and phenolic compounds (Vinkovic Vrcek et al 2011). The use of grafting for tomato production has increased in recent years because rootstocks improve tolerance of the plants to pathogens, poor water quality, over-wet soils, drought and toxic soil micronutrients (Wu et al 2007).…”

“…Vinkovic Vrcek et al (2011) used the tomato cultivars 'Efialto', 'Heman' and 'Maxifort' as rootstocks, and 'Tamaris' as scion; grafting resulted in an increased number of marketable fruits per plant by 30%, but the contents of vitamin C and total phenolics decreased significantly as a result of grafting. Also, the antioxidant activities of grafts differed significantly from those of their respective rootstocks.…”

Grafting of vegetable seedlings is a unique horticultural technology, practised for more than 50 years, to overcome problems associated with intensive cultivation on limited arable land. Grafting vegetables can protect against soil-borne diseases and nematodes, against abiotic stresses such as high/low temperatures, salinity, drought or excessive soil-water content, and against elevated soil concentrations of heavy metals and organic pollutants. In addition, the grafted plant takes up water and nutrients from the soil more efficiently and retains its vitality for longer periods during the growing season. However, rootstock/scion combinations may affect and alter the final size, yield, and quality of fruits from grafted plants, both immediately postharvest and during prolonged storage. These alterations may be attributed in part to differing production environments and methods, the type of rootstock/scion combinations used, and harvest date.The aim of this paper is to review the most recent literature on the effects of grafting on postharvest quality of fruits/vegetables: tomato, watermelon, melon, eggplant, cucumber and pepper. The review will conclude by identifying several prospects for future research aimed at improving the quality of grafted fruit/vegetable products.
