Abstract excerpt
Grafting is a common horticultural practice used to confer desirable traits between rootstock and scion, including disease resistance. To investigate graft-conferred resistance against viral diseases a novel heterografting system was developed using Nicotiana benthamiana scions grafted onto different tomato rootstocks. N. benthamiana is normally highly susceptible to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection. However,...
