Genetics, breeding and selection of rootstocks for Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae
TLDR
Grafting is rare in the United States, due in part to cost and availability of facilities, but with continued loss of quality disease-free farmland along with the phase out of methyl bromide, vegetable grafting is an attractive option.About:

Unravelling rootstock×scion interactions to improve food security
Alfonso Albacete,Cristina Martínez-Andújar,Ascensión Martínez-Pérez,Andrew J. Thompson,Ian C. Dodd,Francisco Pérez-Alfocea +5 more
TL;DR: Understanding the mechanisms underlying the phenotypic variability resulting from rootstock×scion×environment interactions will certainly contribute to developing and exploiting rootstocks for food security.

Eggplant relatives as sources of variation for developing new rootstocks: Effects of grafting on eggplant yield and fruit apparent quality and composition
TL;DR: Grafting eggplant onto interspecific eggplant hybrids, especially on the SI × SM hybrid, has proved advantageous for eggplant production, as the high vigour and good compatibility of the rootstock with scion results in improved early and total yield without negative effects on apparent fruit quality or composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defense Mechanisms Involved in Disease Resistance of Grafted Vegetables
TL;DR: This review analyzes current literature on the use of grafting techniques for disease management in vegetable crops, discusses potential mechanisms associated with grafting-conferred plant defense, and identifies needs for future research to promote more effective and efficient use of transplanting technology to support sustainable vegetable production.

Solanum aethiopicum gr. gilo and Its Interspecific Hybrid with S. melongena as Alternative Rootstocks for Eggplant: Effects on Vigor, Yield, and Fruit Physicochemical Properties of Cultivar ′Scarlatti′
Leo Sabatino,Giovanni Iapichino,Giuseppe Leonardo Rotino,Eristanna Palazzolo,Giuseppe Mennella,Fabio D'Anna +5 more
TL;DR: Grafting eggplant ′Scarlatti′ F1 hybrid on two accessions of S. melongena × S. aethiopicum gr.

Blossom end-rot in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.): A multi-disciplinary overview of inducing factors and control strategies
TL;DR: A multitude of genetic, physiological and environmental factors form a complex network of interactions and synergies contributing to BER occurrence, and the “multi-disciplinary approach” is maybe the most appropriate one to understand and develop new and effective BER-contrasting tools with genetic and agronomic methods.

Role of grafting in horticultural plants under stress conditions
TL;DR: The advantages of grafting plants for current agriculture are examined, these being: resistance to evermore frequent soil diseases; tolerance of low temperatures characteristic of many latitudes of the world where intensive cultivation is economically important; tolerance to the growing problem of salinity from abuse of chemical fertilizers and desertification in many agricultural zones; and enhanced water and inorganic-nutrient uptake.

Leaf-macronutrient content and yield in grafted melon plants. A model to evaluate the influence of rootstock genotype
TL;DR: A model found a strong relationship between the variations in foliar concentrations of N and Na and yield differences in grafted plants, and the use of the different rootstock genotypes causes little change in the leaf content of macronutrients.

The grafting of triploid watermelon is an advantageous alternative to soil fumigation by methyl bromide for control of Fusarium wilt
A. Miguel,José Vicente Maroto,A. San Bautista,C. Baixauli,V. Cebolla,Bernardo Pascual,S. López,José Luis Guardiola +7 more
TL;DR: The use of ‘Shintoza’ rootstock is an advantageous alternative to soil fumigation by methyl bromide for the control of Fusarium wilt in watermelon production, as it is cheaper and safer, and the yields are higher and more reliable.
