Fig. 1: Heterografting induces vigour in eggplant scions.
From: Grafting vigour is associated with DNA de-methylation in eggplant
a Representation of grafting experimental design considering the conditions under investigation (from left to right): (1) self-grafted eggplant (var. ‘Ecavi’) scions, (2) ‘Ecavi’ scions onto S. torvum rootstocks (TOR) and (3) ‘Ecavi’ scions onto tomato ‘Emperador RZ’ rootstocks (EMP). b Height differences between hetero-grafted and self-grafted plants were observed 5 months after grafting occurred. From left to right eggplant scions grafted on ‘Ecavi’ eggplant (Self), S. torvum (TOR) and tomato ‘Emperador RZ’ (EMP). Asterisks mark statistically significant differences (ANOVA one-way, P < 0.05). Error bars represent the SD of three replicates. c Picture displaying differences in vigour between plants representative of the grafting conditions (Self, TOR and EMP) at 5 months post grafting
