TL;DR: This review gives an actual overview how grafting can alleviate the adverse effects of environmental stresses on vegetable's crop performance at agronomical, physiological, and biochemical levels.

TL;DR: It is suggested that functional evidence on the role of root plasticity will support breeders in their efforts to include root properties in their current selection pipeline for abiotic stress tolerance, aimed to improve the robustness of crops.

TL;DR: This study illustrates that growth of vegetative tomato plants at suboptimal temperature is for a significant part inhibited by its poor root development, and grafting tomato onto a low-temperature rootstock provides an alternative tool to reduce the grow-limiting effects ofSuboptimal RZ temperature on the shoot.

TL;DR: The orientation of the chloroplasts in submergence-acclimated leaves was toward the epidermis instead of the intercellular spaces, indicating that underwater CO2 diffuses through the cuticle and epidermal cell wall thickness, and a novel finding suggests that this ratio may be less conservative than previously thought.

TL;DR: This review will focus on low-temperature effects on photosynthesis and the inheritance of these traits to the offspring of various breeding attempts and the progress that has been made with respect to the genetic basis of chilling tolerance of Lycopersicon spp.
