Graft hybrid

Graft hybridisation refers to a form of asexual hybridisation where heritable modifications can be induced through grafting. Grafting joins plant parts, forming a genetically composite organism functioning as one plant. A scion is a shoot from one plant that, after grafting, grows on the upper part of another plant. The stock receives the scion and serves as the root system for the grafted plant.
