Researchers Surprised After They Graft Tomato Plants With Epigenetically-Modified Rootstock – SciTechDaily

Progeny of novel combination is more vigorous and productive than parental plants.
Novel grafted plants — consisting of rootstock epigenetically modified to “believe” it has been under stress — joined to an unmodified scion, or above-ground shoot, give rise to progeny that are more vigorous, productive, and resilient than the parental plants.
That is the surprising finding of a team of researchers that conducted large-scale field trials with tomato plants at three widely separated locations over…
