Plant grafting triggers wound healing mechanism

Plant grafting has been an important technique in agriculture to propagate fruit trees as clones and to obtain benefits of certain rootstocks. However, graft-incompatibility avoiding cell-cell adhesion has limited the technique. We found that Nicotiana species showed an extreme capability of grafting and achieved grafts with a wide range of vascular plants, including eudicots and monocots, where cell walls were apparently digested in a part of graft boundary. Cellular and molecular analyses investigating the biological processes during grafting will be presented.
