Abstract

IntroductionGrafting in different plant species has a long history and its potential benefits are mentioned as early as the fourth century BC in some texts such as Parva naturalia by Aristotle or De causis plantarum by his disciple Teophrastus (Labajos and Morales 2007). Columella, an agriculture writer during the Roman empire, focused an important part of his work on the study of grafting on the grapevine (Álvarez de Sotomayor and Rubio 1824, Labajos and Morales 2007). This long history highlights the importance of grafting techniques for plant propagation. In viticulture, grafting was originally used to change cultivars, but it became essential at the end of the 19th century because of the phylloxera crisis in Europe. Today, European and even worldwide viticulture is inconceivable without this technique (Ollat et al. 2016).Verified information on the evolution of grafting practices in approximately the last 150 years is scarce; however, it is known that initially grafting was carried out manually in the field, requiring much time and effort and skilful labour. Later, the nursery sector flourished, and bench grafting dormant plants became increasingly popular. Since then, both field and bench grafting have coexisted.
