Grafting of vegetable seedlings is a unique horticultural technology, practiced for more than five decades, aiming to overcome problems associated with intensive cultivation on limited arable land. Grafting can protect vegetables against soil-borne diseases and nematodes; against abiotic stresses such as high or low temperatures, salinity, drought or excessive soil-water content; and against elevated soil concentrations of heavy metals and organic pollutants. Watermelon is one of the most popular vegetables to be grafted, and more than 90% of the plants worldwide are commercially grafted. This mini review aims to summarize the latest available information about the effects of rootstock/scion combinations with respect to enhancing or impairing watermelon fruit-quality. A better understand of the influence of rootstock/scion compatibility or incompatibility on fruit-quality parameters will facilitate decision-making by growers and direct breeding programs to produce high-quality grafted fruits in a cost-effective manner. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
嫁接蔬菜苗是一种独特的园艺技术，已经有五十多年的历史，旨在克服在有限耕地进行集约化种植所带来的问题。嫁接可以保护蔬菜免受土传病害和线虫的侵害；免受高温或低温、盐度、干旱或土壤水分过多、土壤重金属和有机污染物浓度升高等非生物胁迫的影响。西瓜是嫁接最受欢迎的蔬菜之一，全世界超过 90%的西瓜都是商业化嫁接的。本篇综述旨在总结关于砧木/接穗组合对提高或降低西瓜果实品质的最新研究进展。更好地了解砧木/接穗的亲和性或不亲和性对果实品质参数的影响，将有助于种植者做出决策，并通过直接的育种计划以经济有效的方式生产出高质量的嫁接果实。 © 2020 英国化学学会。
