The major challenges that agriculture is facing in the twenty-first century are increasing
droughts, water scarcity, flooding, poorer soils, and extreme temperatures due to climate …

Vascular plants are wired with a remarkable long‐distance communication system. This
network can span from as little as a few centimeters (or less) in species like Arabidopsis, up …

To alleviate biotic and abiotic stresses and enhance fruit yield, many crops are cultivated in
the form of grafted plants, in which the shoot (scion) and root (rootstock) systems of different …

Organismal communication entails encoding a message that is sent over space or time to a
recipient cell, where that message is decoded to activate a downstream response. Defining …

Grafting is an ancient technique that involves the physical joining of genotypically distinct
shoot and root systems, in order to achieve a desirable compound plant. This practice is …

Phytohormones play an important role in regulating the plant behavior to drought. In
previous studies, NIBER® pepper rootstock showed tolerance to drought in terms of …

A rotation sequence of ungrafted and grafted tomato-melon-pepper-watermelon on resistant
rootstocks 'Brigeor', Cucumis metuliferus,'Oscos' and Citrullus amarus, respectively, was …

Humans have used grafting for more than 4000 years to improve plant production, through
physically joining two different plants, which can continue to grow as a single organism …

Grafting is routinely implemented in modern agriculture to manage soilborne pathogens
such as fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, and viruses of solanaceous crops in a sustainable and …

Grafting can improve the salt tolerance of many crops. However, critical genes in scions
responsive to rootstock under salt stress remain a mystery. We found that pumpkin rootstock …
