This book provides comprehensive, current scientific and applied
practical knowledge on vegetable grafting, a method gaining
considerable interest that is used to protect crops from soil-borne
diseases, abiotic stress and to enhance growth/yield. Though the
benefits of using grafted transplants are now fully recognized
worldwide, understanding the rootstock-scion interactions under
variable environmental pressures remains vital for
grafting-mediated crop improvement. In this book the authors attend
to this need and explain the reasons for, and methods and
applications of, grafting. Vegetable Grafting: Principles and
Practices covers: * rootstock breeding, signalling, and
physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in grafting; *
beneficial effects of grafting including reducing disease damage
and abiotic stress; * side effects relating to the impact of
grafting on fruit quality; and * practical applications and
speciality crops. Including high-quality colour images and written
by an international team of expert authors, this book provides
up-to-date scientific data and is also concerned with translating
science to the field. It is an essential resource for researchers,
advanced technicians, practitioners and extension workers.
