Because of climate change, primarily water deficit and temperature extremes may negatively affect the plant growth. To develop stress-resistant plants, grafting can be a good solution. The stronger root system due to the rootstock became more resistant against biotic and abiotic stress elements and grafting itself increases the resistance of the whole plant, supported by many physiological changes.
