ABSTRACT
Grafting is the connection of two or more pieces of plant tissue which are forced to develop a vascular connection and grow as a single plant (Savvas et al. 2010). Grafting methods have been carried out especially with fruit trees for thousands of years and recently in vegetables. Nowadays, in modern horticulture, grafting is used for many purposes: to have dwarf trees and shrubs, to strengthen plants’ resistance to diseases, to retain varietal characteristics, to adapt varieties to unfavorable soil or climatic conditions, to ensure pollination, to propagate certain species that can be propagated in no other way, etc.
