The 28 pages that link to Grafting, each with the reason it gives.

• HorticultureBroader topic: It combines desirable fruiting traits with root systems adapted to particular soils or conditions.

• Ornamental plantRelated: Grafting can preserve ornamental traits or combine them with a useful root system.

• CultivarBroader topic: Many fruit-tree cultivars are maintained by grafting rather than seed.

• Vegetative reproductionRelated: Grafting combines a chosen shoot with a root system, though it does not create a clone of the whole plant.

• Plant propagationBroader topic: It combines a chosen shoot or bud with a root system suited to propagation or cultivation.

• Asexual reproductionRelated: Grafting propagates a chosen shoot while combining it with a separate root system.

• Somatic mutationRelated: Grafting can preserve a desirable mutant shoot as part of a cultivated plant.

• TomatoRelated: Tomato growers graft fruiting varieties onto rootstocks chosen for vigor or disease resistance.

• MeristemRelated: The cambium layers at the graft union must produce compatible new tissues.

• Plant tissueRelated: Successful grafting requires compatible tissues to connect and restore transport.

• Vascular tissueRelated: A successful graft depends on reconnecting vascular tissues across the join.

• TransplantingCompared with: Grafting joins tissues; transplanting relocates an existing plant.

• Apple cultivarRelated: Grafting preserves an apple cultivar’s traits while allowing it to grow on selected roots.

• Node (botany)Related: Stem sections containing nodes may supply buds for grafting.

• OrchardRelated: Grafting lets growers combine a chosen fruit variety with a suitable rootstock.

• Plant reproductionRelated: Grafting combines a chosen shoot with a compatible root system rather than producing a new genetic combination.

• Tropical horticultureBroader topic: Grafting is widely useful for multiplying selected fruit varieties and combining them with robust rootstocks.

• Carya laciniosaRelated: Grafting propagates selected shellbark hickory cultivars more reliably than seed.

• LayeringCompared with: Grafting joins plant parts; layering roots a stem that remains attached to its own parent.

• PomologyRelated: Grafting combines fruit varieties with rootstocks selected for particular traits.

• Trofim LysenkoRelated: Lysenko invoked grafting to support claims that acquired traits could affect heredity.

• Johnny AppleseedCompared with: Unlike grafting, seed planting produces trees with genetically varied fruit.

• Pyrus communisRelated: Pear cultivars are commonly propagated by grafting onto selected rootstocks.

• Basal shootCompared with: Basal shoots arising below a graft union can belong to the rootstock rather than the desired cultivar.

• Plant structuresRelated: A graft depends on compatible stem tissues reconnecting across the union.

• Pouteria campechianaRelated: Grafting can preserve desirable fruit traits in cultivated trees.

• Pouteria sapotaRelated: Grafting preserves desirable fruit traits and can bring trees into production sooner than seed-grown trees.

• Tomato (plant)Related: Tomato growers use disease-resistant rootstocks to support productive fruiting cultivars.
