Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Tomato Plants Grafted onto <i>Solanum pennellii</i> and <i>Solanum peruvianum</i> under Water-Deficit Conditions
Grafting using suitable rootstocks mitigates the adverse effects caused by environmental stresses such as water deficit in the tomato crop. <i>Solanum pennellii</i> and <i>Solanum peruvianum</i>, the wild relatives of tomato, are used as rootstocks due to their tolerance to w...
