Induction of hereditary changes by grafting in tomato was reconfirmed by combination of the cultivar Jubilee (yellow skin-orange flesh) as scion and the cultivar Tiny Tim (yellow skin-red flesh) as stock.The phenotypic change from yellow-orange (Jubilee type) to yellow-red (Tiny Tim type) was observed in the grafted scion (G0) on the Tiny Tim stock...

... It is generally thought that grafting does not alter the genetic content of the graft partners (recipient stock/donor scion) or their offspring. However, graft-induced genetic variations (GIGVs) in graft offspring have been well documented in several different experimental systems and plant species (Frankel, 1954;Yagishita, 1961;Ohta and Choung, 1975;Hirata, 1979Hirata, , 1980aHirata, , 1980bHirata et al., , 1989Taller et al., 1998). For example, an earlier study using male sterile petunia for the stock and normal fertile petunia as the scion showed that the male sterility of the stock was transferred to the scion progeny (Frankel, 1954). ...
