Grafting of vegetable seedlings is a unique horticultural technology practiced
for many years in East Asia to overcome issues associated with intensive cultivation using
limited arable land. This technology was introduced to Europe and other countries in the
late 20th century along with improved grafting methods suitable for commercial
production of grafted vegetable seedlings. Tomato grafting is becoming a welldeveloped
practice worldwide with many horticultural advantages. The primary motivation
for grafting tomato has been to prevent the damage caused by soilborne pathogens
under intensive production system. However, recent reports suggest that grafting onto
suitable rootstocks can also alleviate the adverse effects of abiotic stresses such as salinity,
water, temperature, and heavy metals besides enhancing the efficiency of water and
nutrient use of tomato plants. This review gives an overview of the scientific literatures on
the various aspects of tomato grafting including important steps of grafting, grafting
methods, scion–rootstock interaction, and rootstock-derived changes in vegetative
growth, fruit yield, and quality in grafted plants under different growing conditions. This
review also highlights the economic significance of grafted tomato cultivation and offers
discussion on the future thrust and technical issues that need to be addressed for the
effective adoption of grafting.
