Grafting plants is said to be difficult between different families.
However, in plants belonging to the Solanaceae genus Tobacco, we have found that “grafting is established with partners of various families”.
Different Graft:
In allografts, only the genus Tobacco “secretes amylase extracellularly” promotes tissue healing (Yugo).
We will study conditions other than amylase and aim for practical application.
Tobacco intermediate rootstock:
With 7 kinds of tobacco genus, we performed “cross grafting with 73 kinds of plants in 38 families including monocotyledons and trees”.
As a result, it was confirmed that a graft of different species survived for more than 4 weeks.
Using tobacco as an intermediate rootstock, it succeeded in indirect grafting between different families other than the genus Tobacco.
Grand green:
Bioventure Grand Green from Nagoya University (Nagoya City) also participated in the research.
Utilizing the company’s auxiliary equipment “grafting cassette” so that anyone can easily perform grafting that requires skill.
