Sixteen thousand grafts reveal limited scion genetic control of grapevine bench-grafting success
Nurseries produce tens of millions of bench-grafted grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) each year, yet the genetics underlying grafting success rate remain poorly understood. Here, we dissected the genetic architecture of this trait in a scion mapping population. We grafted 138 progeny from a Riesling x Cabernet Sauvignon cross, along with both parents, onto 1103P, with 40 grafts per genotype in each…
