3. Why do we need a database ?
• Scattered information in technical and scientific
journals, abstracts of proceedings
• Increased interest of key stakeholders (academic,
farmers, farm advisors, seed companies, nurseries,
policy makers) to scientific knowledge and
technical information
• Make information easily available to different
stakeholders

4. Structure of the database-
How was it made?
• Excel file
• Excel spreadsheet (each
spreadsheet=crop)
• Source of information:
– www.scopus.com
– key words: «Crop name», Grafting,
Rootstock
– Years considered (1950-2016)
• Information: Title, Author(s), Journal
citation, growing system, scion,
rootstock, experimental treatments,
effects of grafting combinations on
agronomic response of crop and fruit
quality.

19. Conclusions
• Simple and easy to use tool for selection of grafting
combinations suitable for a specific growing
environment.
• Allows a quick identification of research needs for
different crops and categories.
• It is far to be completed: abstracts, proceeding
papers, and other minor scientific journal have not
be considered.
• Implementation of Design and upload in the COST
website is needed.

Editor's Notes
Rising importance of grafting technique in horticulture in the past two decades!
…..In this picture, taken from Scopus, you can see the number of works published regarding the use grafting in horticulture. Specifically, this image is referring to the trend of studies in tomato, but it well rappresent a general trend which is visible for the main cucurbitaceus and solanaceous crop. As you can see the trend in the last 20, or better, 10 years, strongly increased the scientific interest for this technique.
But why we need a database? There a number of reasons that made us think about the creation of a database: particularly, there is a large amount of information which is scattered and scarsely accessible to different stakeholders, we need to make the info easily available to them.
Liason between… Share the information gained in the research world with the industrial world…….
Additionally, the database in intended as a mandatory output for the COST Action.
Increased interest of jey
C. OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
C.1 Aim
The aim of the Action is to understand the biological basis of rootstock-mediated improvement of several vegetable crops (tomato, eggplant, pepper, watermelon, melon, and cucumber) and their compatibility by combining the already existing scientific information generated in several COST and non-COST countries as a basis for development and exploitation of new rootstocks.
C.2 Objectives
This Action will also translate into practice the advanced scientific understanding on vegetable grafting with the aim of promoting the integration of this modernized technique as an effective tool for sustainable production of vegetable crops.
Therefore, the secondary objectives are:
• to list the current genetic variability existing in each vegetable species as well as the current breeding programs in COST and no-COST countries (D1, D2, D3);
• to define major physiological and genetic determinants of root and shoot development and compatibility of rootstock-scion (D4);
• to determine the current status of knowledge about rootstock-mediated crop improvement so as to mitigate the impact of biotic, abiotic and combined stresses, thus improving resource use efficiency (D5, D6);
• to list the effects of rootstocks on fruit quality in order to define strategies for a better understanding and exploitation of the signalling processes involved (D7);
• to create an international database with the information generated by the COST Action (eg. disease resistance of rootstocks, abiotic stress tolerance of rootstocks, compatibility issues, sources of rootstocks, vigour effects on scion, grafting techniques, etc.) (D9);
• to define classical and biotechnological breeding strategies to prepare the generation of new rootstocks improving desirable traits in crop varieties of selected species (D8)
• to transfer available knowledge into the practice (D9, D11);
• to use all the information collected to identify particular topics which could be used to develop new research projects (D10)
The output of the COSt action to further their research and to back up the application for funding of new research ideas. Parties concerned with vegetable grafting will use the information for practical purposes (directly or under through the action of advisers).
As simple as possible, to make it easily to customize and use for different interests.
More information regarding the type of studies considered: no reviews, filtering also for acta horticolturae and researching only pubblication regarding agriculture and horticulture!

8 categories in order to make use and understanding easier. The last 3 categories were included in «agronomic behaviour».

Point the fact that the 94 % of the rootstock were indicated as tomato/ hybrid tomato with commercial name, without indication regarding the genetics.
